On July 31, the plaintiffs associated with the Democratic Party of Florida, including the Democratic National Committee, filed this document with a Florida U.S. District Court that is hearing Jacobson v Lee, n.d., 4:18cv-262. This is the lawsuit in which Democrats challenge the Florida law that says the party that won the last gubernatorial election shall have all its nominees listed first.
Although couched as a proposed decision that the Democrats wish the Judge would write, this document can really be taken as the final brief of the Democrats. It is 67-pages long and is a useful reference to state laws that mandate neutral procedures to determine who is listed first on the general election ballot. It is also a useful summary of past court precedents on this issue.
Unfortunately, the Democrats argue that the relief they seek should not be given to independent or minor party candidates. Footnote 17 says, “Plaintiffs here do not challenge Florida’s tiered ballot-order system, or the order in which minor party or non-partisan candidates are listed.” Current Florida law says the major party nominees are listed first, followed by the nominees of parties with less than 5% of the registration. Below them are independent candidates.

PR and AppV and TOTSOP.
Party logo votes in FL ??? — or wiped out by FL Elephants ???
Florida ballots, like the ballots in most states, have never had party logos. Also Florida has always used an office-group ballot, not a party column ballot.
How much FL RED Donkey communist pressure to have party logos, at least ???

Need a super-computer now to detect ALL the ballot form/structure machinations
— in addition to the ballot access machinations.
The brief gives the analogy of the so-called rivalry between Florida and Florida State, and suggests that giving the winner of the governor’s race top line position would be equivalent to giving the winner of the previous year a five-yard advantage on each possession. But if the analogy is valid, then excluding minor parties from preferred position is equivalent to giving Florida or Florida State a five-yard advantage whenever they play Central Florida or Miami.
Marc Elias was the hatchet-man for the Democrats against the Green Party in Montana, and the bag man for Hillary Clinton and the Steele dossier.
