On July 1, U.S. District Court Judge Allen Winsor enjoined the new Florida law that bars anyone from contributing more than $3,000 to a committee that is trying to get a statewide initiative on the ballot. ACLU v Lee, n.d., 4:21cv-190. The order also says that the proper defendant in this case is the Florida Elections Commission, not the Secretary of State, but that didn’t affect the outcome because the plaintiffs had sued both officials.
Here is the 17-page order.
Good. This is a very bad law that would make it almost impossible to place a statewide initiative on the ballot in Florida. It deserves to be thrown out.
