The Palm Beach Post and Miami Herald are reporting that former state senator Nancy Argenziano has filed a lawsuit challenging as unconsitutional a portion of HB1355 that prevents a candidate from switching political parties less than 365 days before qualifying to run for office. Here is what HB1355 requires that candidates attest to: “That the person has not been a registered member of candidate for nomination for anyother political party for 365 days before the beginning of qualifying preceding the general election for which the person seeks to qualify.”
Update: The Leon County Clerk of the Circuit Court has added the pleadings in this case to its “High Profile Cases” section on its website.
