Florida Supreme Court to Hear Hubbard Voting Appeal

The Florida Supreme Court has agreed to hear the appeal of Terry Hubbard, one of 20 individuals charged with voter fraud by Governor Ron DeSantis in 2022. These charges, announced shortly before the 2022 general election, involve convicted felons allegedly registering and voting when ineligible. A Broward County judge initially dismissed Hubbard's charges, arguing the prosecutor lacked jurisdiction since the offense occurred within one judicial circuit. However, the 4th District Court of Appeal overturned this decision, prompting Hubbard's appeal to the Supreme Court. Attorney General Ashley Moody's office contends the statewide prosecutor has jurisdiction because the alleged crimes spanned two circuits, with actions in Broward and transmissions to Leon County. The Supreme Court has yet to set a date for arguments.
