Attorney General Pam Bondi's office asked a Leon County circuit judge to dismiss a lawsuit that seeks to remove six proposed constitutional amendments from the November ballot because they bundle multiple issues into single measures.

Jordan Pratt, a deputy solicitor general in Bondi's office, told Circuit Judge Karen Gievers that the lawsuit, filed by former Supreme Court Justice Harry Lee Anstead and another plaintiff, is trying to advance an “unprecedented” legal theory that the First Amendment does not allow the bundling of proposed amendments.

Pratt said there is “no case in the history of the republic, federal or state, that has ever read the First Amendment to guarantee a right to voters not to vote on bundled proposals.”
