Maybe its time for someone to file a lawsuit in Florida...this really is BS...

Florida Republicans effectively 'nullified' Black state rep's election by refusing to send certification letter

By Travis Gettys
Published January 28, 2022

Florida Republicans are refusing to allow a Democratic state representative take his seat until the current legislative session is nearly over.

Daryl Campbell was elected to the Florida House on Jan. 11, but the secretary of state appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis won't send a letter certifying his election until at least March 8 -- which is three days before the annual legislative session ends, reported the Sun-Sentinel.

“I remain hopeful," Campbell told the newspaper. "Am I surprised? I am not. It’s just unfortunate that our constituents … now are being faced with a situation where their voice does not get heard.”
