Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida (No.98-00770-CIV-ORL-19A); Patricia C. Fawsett, Judge.

Before TJOFLAT, BARKETT and POLITZ*., Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

¶1

Katherine Harris, Robert Butterworth, and various Florida state officials, acting in their official capacities, appeal from an order enjoining the enforcement of Florida Statutes Section 106.011(1), which governs the financing of electoral campaigns.

¶2

Appellants concede that the statute is overbroad but suggest that the district court should have interpreted the statute in a way that would pass constitutional muster. Upon review we find no error in the district court's enjoining the enforcement of Florida Statutes Section 106.011(1) because it is unconstitutionally overbroad under the First Amendment.

¶3

AFFIRMED.

NOTES:

*

Honorable Henry A. Politz, U.S. Circuit Judge for the Fifth Circuit, sitting by designation.
