On September 14, the People’s Party of Florida filed a request for a rehearing en banc in People’s Party of Florida v Florida Department of State, 22-12451. This is the case that challenges Florida’s law that forbids a new party from nominating any candidates. Not only did the Court fail to provide any relief; it also then said that the declaratory part of the case can’t proceed because the case is moot. This is a legal error; the U.S. Supreme Court said in 1969 that constitutional ballot access cases are not moot just because the declaratory judgment is obtained after the election is over.
