Regina Young, a Democratic candidate for State House of Representatives, had been disqualified from seeking office due to a small technicality on her paperwork. A notary had accidentally written “Florida” instead of “Duval” in a spot marked “county.”
Following an emergency hearing, Circuit Judge John Cooper ordered Young’s name to be put back on the November ballot. She will face the winner of the August Republican primary — Lake Ray, Mario Rubio, or Gordon Morgan. All three Republicans have argued that Young should have been allowed on the ballot.
