On July 2, a Florida state trial court ruled that Libertarian Addison Liberty Patrick should remain on the ballot for city council in Jacksonville, Florida. The Republican Party had sued to keep her off the ballot, because she hasn’t been a registered Libertarian for the past year. However, the judge said the law on duration of party membership doesn’t apply to Jacksonville city elections, in which party labels do appear on the ballot, but parties don’t have nominees.
