The attorney, Adam Richardson, also included DeSantis and Attorney General Ashley Moody in his petition, alleging that they have “waged a campaign to interfere with the election.” Richardson asked justices “to forbid them from misusing or abusing their offices and agencies to interfere with the election for Amendment 4.”

Justices could have dismissed Richardson’s complaint. Instead, they ordered the agency to respond to his allegations by 5 p.m. on Sept. 23.

The lawsuit is the most significant legal pushback so far to DeSantis’ efforts to marshal state resources to defeat Amendment 4, which would overturn the state’s six-week abortion ban if passed by 60% of voters in November. The amendment says, in part, that “no law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s healthcare provider.”

    You’re right. I was talking more about how most of Florida is at sea level and how you’ll be under water if we don’t do anything. I guess you kind of are under water during hurricane season already. I hope your state government gets rid of all of the fascists.
