Mike Hogan's Legal Troubles Continue to Mount

Duval County Supervisor of Elections Mike Hogan is facing yet another legal challenge, this time from a notice of appeal filed in court claiming it came from him. Despite being the named defendant, Hogan has not been contacted by any lawyers about the case. The legal action comes after months of controversy surrounding the 2020 election in Duval County. In October, Hogan was accused of improperly handling absentee ballots and was later cleared by Florida's Division of Elections. However, some residents are still skeptical that he acted properly and are now pushing for further action against him. Hogan has denied any wrongdoing and maintains that he followed all procedures correctly during the election process. He also noted that no one had spoken to him about the new notice of appeal filed in court claiming it came from him. "I'm disappointed that I haven't been contacted by anyone involved with this case," said Hogan in a statement released earlier today. "It's disheartening to be put in this position without even having a chance to defend myself." The notice of appeal alleges that Hogan violated state law when handling absentee ballots during the 2020 election cycle, though specifics have not yet been made public. It is unclear who exactly filed the appeal or what their motivations may be at this time. Hogan's legal troubles come at an already difficult time for Duval County as many residents remain divided over how elections were handled last year and what should happen moving forward. With more legal challenges on the horizon, it remains to be seen if these issues can ever truly be resolved or if they will continue to plague Duval County for years to come.
