On May 24, the Democratic National Committee and its various national campaign committees filed a lawsuit against the Florida law that determines order of candidates on the ballot. Jacobson v Detzner, n.d., 1:18cv-95. It is assigned to U.S. District Court Judge Mark E. Walker, an Obama appointee. Judge Walker is also the judge who recently ruled that Florida’s process for determining which ex-felons can have their voting rights restored is unconstitutionally arbitrary.

Florida law says the party that polled the most votes in the most recent gubernatorial race will always be listed first on general election ballots. Next are the nominees of the second-biggest party. Then the minor party candidates appear, and at the bottom, the independent candidates. Thanks to Rick Hasen for the link.
