How many valid signatures do they need to get Dick Coffee on the ballot? When is the deadline?
Under 11th circuit precedent, when there is less time for petitioning than is usually permitted, the deadline must be extended or the number of signatures must be reduced. There will probably be a lawsuit to reduce the state’s demand for 6,900 valid signatures by the date of the primary.
