💨 Abstract

The article discusses a legal challenge in Florida against a new law restricting ballot initiatives. The law, signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, imposes stricter requirements and penalties on campaigns, which attorneys argue infringes upon First Amendment rights and makes it nearly impossible to gather necessary signatures. Campaigns seeking to expand Medicaid and legalize recreational marijuana are urging a judge to block portions of the law. The judge will draft a ruling soon.
