Foley's Name Remains...

The AP was a bit premature on Foley's ballot status.

According to Florida election law (and confirmed by a spokesman for Dem nominee Tim Mahoney), Rep. Mark Foley's name will remain on the FL 16 ballot. The one caveat for Republicans? The state GOP will be able to designate a replacement candidate. All votes that go to Foley will count for the "GOP-designated" candidate.
