Florida Republican Congressional Candidate Removed from Primary Ballot for Filing Wrong Form

On June 24, Republican candidate James Judge, running for U.S. House, was removed from the primary ballot for filing the wrong form. There are separate forms for federal candidates, versus state and local candidates, to affirm that they support the U.S. Constitution, although the wording of the oath is identical for both. Judge used the state/local form. He filed a week before the deadline and the state accepted his paperwork, without telling him until it was too late that he had used the wrong form.

On June 27, he filed a lawsuit in state court to reverse the decision. See this story.
