Lawsuit Filed Against Florida Officials Over Abortion Amendment
News summary

The Florida Supreme Court has expedited a case against Governor Ron DeSantis and state officials, who are accused of interfering with the upcoming election for an abortion rights amendment. Attorney Adam Richardson filed a petition claiming unlawful actions by DeSantis, Attorney General Ashley Moody, and AHCA Secretary Jason Weida, including a state-run website criticizing the amendment and using taxpayer resources for political advertising. Richardson argues these actions undermine the public's right to vote freely on Amendment 4, which would protect abortion access in Florida if it receives at least 60% support. DeSantis has defended the agency's actions, stating they are meant to provide accurate information, while Richardson insists they constitute electioneering and misuse of office. The court has set deadlines for responses from the state officials involved, emphasizing the urgency as the election date approaches.
