Why in this case is Butterworth sticking his nose where it does not belong, namely state elections?

DUTIES OF FLORIDA'S ATTORNEY GENERAL

The attorney general is constitutionally designated as the state's chief legal officer and a member of the Florida Cabinet.

As chief legal officer, the attorney general oversees the Department of Legal Affairs. When the state is sued, the attorney general usually provides the defense. The attorney general also defends most appeals arising from criminal convictions in the state courts, opposes major challenges to the general laws of Florida and issues formal legal opinions on questions relating to the application of state laws. Criminal law enforcement is an official responsibility of the attorney general's office through the Office of Statewide Prosecution. The attorney general's office is also the chief enforcement agency for antitrust and consumer protection laws and for civil prosecution of criminal racketeering.

As a member of the Florida Cabinet, the attorney general is one of six officials who meet regularly in concert with the governor as the board of directors of a number of state agencies. In addition to having a vote on the Cabinet, the attorney general advises on legal issues related to the Cabinet and represents the governor and Cabinet in litigation.
