Lawsuit seeks to stop GOP convention in Jacksonville
Various plaintiffs in a lawsuit filed Wednesday in Duval County want to see the Republican National Convention stopped from coming to Jacksonville or at least capped at 2,500 attendance.
The suit targets a panoply of parties, including the city of Jacksonville, the Republican National Committee, the Donald Trump campaign, and ASM Global, which manages events for the city.
The claim: that the congregation of thousands of people for the convention under the circumstances and practices encouraged and required by the Republican National Committee would be a nuisance injurious to Jacksonville residents.
Furthermore, the congregation of thousands of people in close proximity for extended periods of time will constitute a nuisance and cause a massive spread of COVID-19 in Jacksonville and throughout Northeast Florida.
