Original Note:
DeSantis is not delaying the Special Election - April 2025 is the earliest date it can be held. Florida State law dictates the number of days for each step in the process (notices, qualifying, primaries), plus overseas ballots must be mailed 45 days before the election. https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/florida-mail-in-ballot-law-complicates-special-elections-gaetz-waltzs-seats-trump-picks/ https://www.pnj.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/11/21/matt-gaetz-special-election-salzman-rudman-running-to-fill-seat/76450951007/ http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0100-0199/0100/Sections/0100.111.html
