TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida will appeal a judge's ruling that strikes a dog-racing amendment from the November ballot.

Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi said the state would appeal the decision and seek an expedited review by the Florida Supreme Court.

In her decision Wednesday, Circuit Judge Karen Gievers agreed with lawyers from the Florida Greyhound Association, that the title of the amendment and the summary given to voters did not clearly explain everything that the amendment would do.

For example, voters would not be told that dog tracks in South Florida could end dog racing and still be allowed to offer other types of gambling. 

The state's Constitution Revision Commission approved the measure appearing on statewide ballots last April. Had it passed, greyhound racing would have been phased out statewide by 2020.

In order to pass, the measure would have had to have been approved by 60 percent or more of voters.
