On May 20, the Florida Democrats who sued over the order of candidates on the general election ballot asked the Eleventh Circuit to rehear their case. The original panel had ruled 2-1 that the plaintiffs lacked standing, and also that they had sued the wrong defendants. Jacobson v Lee, 19-14552.

The lawsuit was filed in 2018 against the Florida law that says nominees of the party that won the last gubernatorial election should be listed first on the ballot. The U.S. District Court had held a lengthy trial and had then struck down the law. But the state had appealed, and the Eleventh Circuit reversed on procedural grounds. Here is the request for a rehearing before all the full-time judges of the Eleventh Circuit.
