Rebekah Jones is a Florida Democratic candidate for U.S. House, District One. On August 12, a Florida state appeals court stayed the order that votes for her should not be counted in the upcoming primary. Her ballot position had been challenged because it was alleged that while she was living in Maryland last year, she had been a registered independent. She disputes that. See this story.

The appeals court still has not decided the merits of the case, but the fact that it stayed the lower court’s order is a sign that the Appeals court is taking her case seriously. The primary is on August 23. The ballots have already been printed. Jones’ name is on the ballot, but if she doesn’t win her case, there will be signs at the polling places saying her votes won’t be counted.
