## Resource

A Florida judge has thrown out a lawsuit seeking to remove GOP Rep. Cory Mills from the August primary ballot, upholding the principle that voters—not courts—decide who runs for office, as long as candidates meet basic eligibility. The case, tied to new but unenforced signature and citizenship laws, was fueled by past controversy involving Mills’ alleged threat to release intimate media of his ex-girlfriend—a claim he denies. With the ruling, Mills stays on the ballot for Florida’s 7th District, while broader debates over election access continue across the country.
