Apopka mayor's election to go forward as is despite residency fight

APOPKA, Fla. – Two of the candidates in Apopka’s mayoral race went before a judge Monday, less than 24 hours before Election Day.

Incumbent Mayor Bryan Nelson is suing to have Orange County Commissioner Christine Moore’s candidacy declared invalid.

Nelson says Moore did not meet the residency requirements to qualify as a candidate.

On Monday, a judge heard arguments in the case, specifically Moore’s motion to have Nelson’s lawsuit thrown out.
