Tim Sharp—an America First “MAGA” candidate in Flagler County, Florida—has filed a lawsuit against Florida Secretary of State Cord Byrd and the Florida Division of Elections after allegedly being unjustly bumped from the ballot.

Sharp, who was running for the Florida House of Representatives, was disqualified from the Aug. 23 Florida primary despite completing all candidate requirements. The state elections department told Sharp he was disqualified because his qualifying check wasn’t labeled as his official campaign account, but Sharp disputes this claim.
