“This Court will not be deciding the race between the Lieutenant Governor and Mr. Fishback.
That will be in the very sound hands of the voters,” Judge David Frank wrote in his 25-page order, issued just before 5 p.m. Monday.
Collins sued last month, arguing Fishback is breaking Florida law by running for governor because he bought a home and voted in D.C. in 2020.
“‘The best proof of one’s domicile is where [the person] says it is,’” Frank wrote, quoting a 1947 Florida Supreme Court case.
The disgraceful lawfare brought by Jay Collins and fueled by Byron Donalds has failed,” Fishback said in a written statement.
