Under Florida law, a candidate can qualify to be on the ballot by minimum signatures or qualifying fee but in order to have votes counted in Florida you have to be a "qualified candidate" and you go to any SOE in Florida, and before each election you will actually see SOE offices, especially with NPAs and write-ins, issue instructions on which candidates are "qualified" and which are not because votes for a candidate are not counted if they were not "qualified" which in Florida means formally filing, even write ins have to file, appointing a campaign treasurer, filing campaign finance reports.
The only thing a write-in does different than an on the ballot candidate in Florida, when qualified, is no signature requirement or qualifying fee
Pam Childers turned in at most 2,200 signatures based on a campaign budget of $220 and 10 cents per signature, and she had turned in at least 3,000 in 2016 based on her campaign budget
The office required 2,130 to qualify if using signature to qualify for office by being on major party ballot....meaning 2,200 are turned in and you strike 71, then under Florida law that person is disqualified and the next place finishing qualified candidate wins, so if it was determined Childers was below 2,130 valid signatures, under Florida law she is DQ'd and the next first place qualified finisher is, by law, supposed to be sworn in. |
