TALLAHASSEE - The Florida Democratic Party has put on hold an election lawsuit against Republicans.
That came after the GOP filed sworn statements Monday asserting the state and national Republican parties "have not and will not" engage in frivolous mass voter challenges.
Circuit Judge Kevin Davey, though, will remain on standby today in case Democrats present evidence that Republicans have broken their promise.
Republican spokeswoman Erin VanSickle called the suit a baseless attempt to distract voters.
Challenged voters can cast provisional ballots that are counted only if their signatures match those on record in county elections offices.
