Florida Bill to Correct Unjust Law on Filing Fees

Florida has the highest candidate filing fees in the nation. And an obscure law says that when a candidate gets on the ballot by collecting signatures in lieu of the filing fee, if he or she wins, and still has money left over in his or her campaign account, the fee must still be paid, after the election is over. See this story, which says that an election law bill moving through the legislature will be amended to delete this utterly irrational requirement.
