Challenge to Florida’s campaign finance laws

August 3, 2010 By Ken Tinkler

The Federal 11th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a lower court’s ruling and entered a preliminary injunction barring the State of Florida from releasing funds to one of the candidates for Governor under the
excess spending subsidy of section 106.355.  This section of the campaign finance portion of the Florida Election Code provided for a subsidy to candidates who opposition had exceeded a $2 per registered voter expenditure limit.  The Division of Election’s brief to the 11th Circuit is online , along with the challenger’s brief.
