09/30/2009 MOTION-EXPEDITE AA Save Our Constitution, Inc. BY: AA John H French 137039 OPINION (O&1)
10/29/2009 ORDER-EXPEDITE DY Appellant Save Our Constitution, Inc.'s Motion to Expedite Opinion is hereby denied.
Click to open document 02/18/2010 DISP-AFFIRMED As more fully explained in our analysis, we affirm the decision of the First District Court of Appeal in Florida Hometown Democracy, Inc. v. Browning, 980 So. 2d 547 (Fla. 1st DCA 2008), because the district court correctly concluded that signature revocation is neither contemplated by the self-executing plain text of article XI, nor is it necessary to ensure ballot integrity and a valid election process. Accordingly, the signature-revocation provisions provided in section 100.371, Florida Statutes (2007), and Florida Administrative Code Rules 1S-2.0091 and 1S-2.0095 violate the Florida Constitution and are void and without effect.
