Florida Candidate for Non-Partisan School Board Race Files Federal Lawsuit Against State Law that Won’t Let Him Mention his Party

Florida has an election law that says, “A political advertisement of a candidate running for nonpartisan office may not state the candidate’s political party affiliation…A candidate for nonpartisan office is prohibited from campaigning based on party affiliation.”

On April 15, a candidate for school board in Escambia County filed a federal lawsuit against that law. Hetherington v Lee, n.d., 3:21cv-671. Here is the Complaint. Thanks to the Institute for Free Speech for the link.

    — with Fed crim cases against any top State hacks who try to enforce such uncon laws

    18 USC 241-242
