Circuit Court Judge Antonio Arzola expressed concern about the timing of the decision to repeal Referendum 8, acknowledging the commission's authority but highlighting potential voter disenfranchisement.
Plaintiffs' attorney Gerald Greenberg argued that the repeal was unprecedented, asserting, 'For the first time in the history of Florida, an election would be called off while it was already happening.'
The City Attorney defended the commission's decision by stating that the referendum's placement on the ballot was a political question, emphasizing the commission's right to decide.
