 | | Florida is one of the only states in which Hispanics predominantly vote Republican. | | | Despite this demographic parity, Republicans control the governorship and most other statewide elected offices, both houses of the state legislature, 18 of the state's 25 seats in the House of Representatives, and one of the state's two Senate seats. | | | The Florida Legislature enacts legislation, such as those in the Florida Statutes, which are signed into law by the Governor of Florida. |

| | Florida's legislators have a constitutional duty to ensure their state appoints electors. | | | The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld the exclusive right of state legislatures to appoint electors. | | | Blackmer, in 1892, the Court declared that "the appointment of these electors is thus placed absolutely and wholly with the legislatures of the several states." No other branch of state government can interfere with the power and duty of the legislature to fulfill the Constitution's command. |

| | Presidential Election Law - Letter to the Members of the Florida Legislature |
| | As Florida Statute § 103.011 clearly states: "Votes cast for the actual candidates for President and Vice President shall be counted as votes cast for the presidential electors supporting such candidates." Florida law thus makes the appointment of presidential electors contingent on a vote of the people for candidates for President. | | | First, the power granted by the U.S. Constitution to state legislatures to appoint presidential electors is not "plenary" in the sense of being unconditional and absolute. | | | In particular, it is inconsistent with the constitutional guarantee of due process for the Florida Legislature to retroactively deprive the citizens of Florida of their right to vote for presidential candidates and their electors. |
