Earlier this year, the Democratic Party filed a lawsuit against the Florida law that says the nominees of the party that won the last gubernatorial election should be listed first on the general election ballot. The case is Jacobson v Detzner, n.d., 4:18cv-262.

The Republican Governors Association and the National Republican Senatorial Committee have asked to intervene in the case. It seems odd that these bodies don’t trust Ken Detzner, the Secretary of State, to adequately defend his own state’s law, especially as he is a Republican.
