On October 21, a lawsuit was filed in Florida state court in Miami to disqualify David Rivera, the Republican nominee for U.S. House, 25th district.  The lawsuit, which apparently is called Barzee v Rivera, says that Rivera didn’t fill out his Florida state campaign finance statements properly in the past when he was a candidate for the Florida legislature.  See  this story.

On its face, this lawsuit seems destined to fail, because Rivera is running for Congress.  Florida campaign laws cannot relate to candidates for Congress, and Florida law has no power to disqualify any candidate for Congress even if he or she did fail to abide by state campaign laws in the past.
