On October 17, the Florida Supreme Court ruled that three statewide ballot measures should be on the November 2018 ballot. A trial court had removed them because they encompass more than a single subject. Here is the opinion in Detzner v Anstead, SC 18-1513.
Four justices believe that the Constitution Revision Commission, which put the measures on the ballot, is free to combine several subjects into a single ballot measure. Three other justices disagree. However, even those three justices voted to put the measures on the ballot, because they believe that the lawsuit filed to get the measures off the ballot has a procedural flaw.
