United States Eleventh Circuit

In an emergency appeal from the denial of a motion for a preliminary injunction by Richard Scott, a candidate for the Republican Party for Governor of the State of Florida, against the Florida Election Campaign Financing Act, the order is reversed where Davis required Florida to justify its excess spending subsidy by reference to an anticorruption interest, but Florida could not satisfy its burden of establishing that its subsidy furthered that interest in the least restrictive manner possible.
