Florida Signature Mismatch Cure

Lawsuit filed by the Democratic Executive Committee of Florida and Bill Nelson’s Senate campaign challenging Florida’s standardless signature matching process. After the district court granted a preliminary injunction and the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals declined to pause that injunction, Florida passed Senate Bill 7066, which, among other things, extends the deadline to cure mail-in and provisional ballots to two days after the election; requires the Florida secretary of state to provide signature matching training to supervisors of elections and canvassing boards; and requires any signature mismatch determinations to be made by a majority of the canvassing board. S.B. 7066’s enactment mooted this litigation.
