Overview
- The suit was filed Jan. 6 in circuit court and names Christine Moore, City Clerk Susan Bone, and Orange Supervisor of Elections Karen Castor Dentel as defendants.
- Nelson asks the court to declare Moore ineligible, decertify her qualification, and remove her from the March 10 ballot, with a potential runoff on April 14.
- He submitted roughly 70 early-morning photos from April 16 to July 18, 2025 that he says show Moore’s car at her Palm Crest Drive home outside city limits, and he declined to identify who took them.
- Moore rejects the claims as baseless, saying she rented a room in Apopka on March 9 and bought a home there in July 2025, which she says satisfies the residency rule.
- The filing also challenges her qualifying-fee check as improperly signed by her rather than a treasurer, a contention Moore disputes, and no court hearing had been scheduled as of Wednesday.
