Florida Secretary of State Files Brief in Eleventh Circuit in Lawsuit Over Order of Candidates on the Ballot

On January 7, the Florida state government filed this brief in Jacobson v National Republican Senatorial Committee, 19-14552. This is the case over the order of candidates on the ballot. Current law puts the nominees of the party that won the last gubernatorial election on the top line.

The state’s brief mostly says the issue is not a fit topic for federal courts. The state says that because the U.S. Supreme Court ruled last year that partisan gerrymandering does not violate the U.S. Constitution, therefore lawsuits on the order of candidates on the ballot can never be considered.

The hearing is February 12.

  1. NOOO such thing as a *political question* [due to SCOTUS M-O-R-O-N-S] —

    Every act/omission [private or public, individual or artificial person] does or does not violate the LAW [consts, laws, treaties, common law].

    This case is one more in a long line of worse and worse mindless IDIOCY in the courts.

    Again – what percent of voters are super-STUPID and ALWAYS vote for the first candidate for each office ???

    Worse than Average STUPID in Florida heatland with its hurricanes ???
