After judge removes Riviera Beach candidates from March ballot, one councilman wants law changed

  • A Riviera Beach Councilman is pushing to change an election statute after an appeals court upheld a ruling disqualifying him and four other candidates from the March 11 ballot.

The article from WLRN discusses the disqualification of two candidates, Leroy Kelson IV and Leroy Kelson III, from the Riviera Beach City Council election due to their use of debit cards for campaign contributions. Florida election law prohibits candidates from accepting contributions in forms other than checks or cash, and the use of debit cards was deemed a violation by the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections. This ruling came after a complaint was filed by another candidate, Glen Spiritis, leading to the candidates' removal from the ballot. The decision has sparked discussions on the clarity and enforcement of campaign finance laws, with some arguing that the law's intent was to prevent untraceable contributions rather than to bar modern payment methods like debit cards.
