Lawsuit Challenges Legality Of Amendment 4

A lawsuit in Orange County claims “widespread fraud” occurred during the petition process for Florida’s Amendment 4, which seeks to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution. The plaintiffs allege forged signatures, including names of deceased individuals, were submitted. They also accuse petition circulators of a pay-per-signature scheme and using identity theft. The lawsuit asks that Amendment 4 be removed from the ballot or invalidated, though the amendment remains on the November ballot for now. A court decision could delay its implementation even if voters approve it.
