The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, which includes one of Gov. Ron DeSantis’ former state Supreme Court picks, reversed an earlier ruling that would have ended a decades-old Florida law that listed the governor’s party first on all ballots.
That law was written by Democrats in the 1950s but has been taken advantage of by the Florida GOP for the past 22 years as their gubernatorial candidates keep winning.
In their decision announced Wednesday, the court ruled that the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, which included an Orlando voter, the Democratic National Committee and its campaign committees, had no legal standing to prove “injury” because of the law.
