False claims made in lawsuit against Florida gubernatorial candidate James Fishback
Why Troubling News:
Tensions among Florida's Republican gubernatorial candidates have escalated to questionable legal actions. A lawsuit brought by gubernatorial hopeful James Collins sought to remove James Fishback from the upcoming Republican primary based on the grounds that Fishback did not meet Florida residency requirements. This claim was proven false in a court of law, citing Fishback's previous history of residency and current his residency in Florida. Collins false claim that Fishback lacked the necessary gubernatorial qualifications misinformed his supporter base, and opened the window to future legal crusades against his political opponents based on misinformation.
