FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Libertarian Party candidate Adrian Wyllie filed a federal lawsuit Thursday seeking to join the Oct. 15 Florida gubernatorial debate.

Wyllie claims that his rights are being infringed upon because of a rule requiring participants to show at least 15 percent support in a reputable independent opinion poll. Wyllie says the rule he understood was 12 percent — including any poll margin of error — although the 15 percent figure has been in place since at least August 2013.
