Two Florida Supreme Court justices qualify for the 2024 ballot

After being appointed during the past two years by Gov. Ron DeSantis, Florida Supreme Court Justices Renatha Francis and Meredith Sasso qualified this week to appear on the November ballot for merit-retention elections.

Francis was appointed to the Supreme Court in 2022, while Sasso was appointed in 2023.

Under Florida law, Supreme Court justices and appellate court judges go on the ballot every six years for voters to determine whether they should be retained.

They do not run against other candidates.

Does the ballot say "should they stay" or "should they go"? And then you have a brand new election?

These anti-women extremists should not be retained. They're nothing but tokens in an extremist cult run by older, affluent white men.
