Florida Candidate Joe Saunders Sues Aunt Over 'Moe Saunders' Ballot Name

Joe Saunders claims his aunt's use of a similar name is a deliberate attempt to confuse voters in the House District 106 race.

Joe Saunders, a former state representative, filed a lawsuit to remove his aunt Maureen Saunders Scott from the ballot.
Scott is running as a no-party candidate under the name 'Moe Saunders,' which Saunders argues is intended to mislead voters.
The lawsuit alleges Scott has never used the nickname 'Moe' and that her candidacy violates Florida election laws.
Scott claims she has used 'Moe' and her maiden name 'Saunders' for years, denying any intent to deceive.
The controversy adds tension to the race against incumbent Republican Fabian Basabe, who denies involvement in Scott's candidacy.
