Court upholds Florida party switching time limit

March 15, 2012 By Ken Tinkler

The Tampa Bay Times and Miami Herald are reporting that a Leon County Circuit Judge has ruled against former Sen. Nancy Argenziano in her bid to have Florida’s 1 year restriction on changing political party affiliation deemed unconstitutional.  Leon County’s Clerk usually posts their high profile orders online, once it’s available I’ll add a link.  The news reports state that the court focused on the fact that Argenziano could have run for office as a member of Florida’s Independent Party (which she was a member of one year before the qualification date) or without party affiliation and that similar laws had been previously held to be valid.
