Florida State Appeals Court Reverses Lower Court, Says Jim Norman is the Republican Nominee for State Senate, 12th District

On October 27, the Florida State Appeals Court reversed the lower court decision in Norman v Ambler.  See this story.  The issue was whether the winner of the Republican primary, for State Senate in the 12th district, should remain as the Republican nominee.  The lower court had disqualified Jim Norman because it found that he had violated campaign finance laws.  The State Court of Appeals said that is no basis to overturn a primary election result.

The Republican Party had chosen a new nominee a few days ago, but that new nomination is now meaningless.  It is conceivable, but unlikely, that the case will be appealed to the Florida Supreme Court.  UPDATE:  no appeal to the State Supreme Court will occur.  See this story.

  1. Enough time for more last second election *law* opinions — before the ballots with or without correct names get counted on 2 Nov 2010 ???

    When will SCOTUS bring down a hammer on the MORON lower courts and their last second opinions ???
