District Court of Appeal of Florida
Shin v. Florida Elections Comm'n, 4D05-123
Under state election law, a qualifying fee is a campaign expenditure which must be reported. An order of the Florida Elections Commission imposing a fine for a candidate's untimely campaign treasurer's report is affirmed over claims that he was not subject to the filing requirement at issue since he ran unopposed in a primary, and that payment of a qualifying fee was not a campaign expenditure.
