On February 20, a 9-day trial concluded in Florida Decides Healthcare v Byrd, n.d., 4:25cv-211, the lawsuit over laws passed by the Florida legislature last year making it almost impossible for initiatives to get on the ballot. The trial did not go well for the state. See this story, describing how the judge characterized the state’s evidence about petition fraud as “junk science” and “nonsense.”

Closing briefs are due March 19.
