TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - A judge has ruled Florida law does not permit polling place signs saying a vote for disgraced former Congressman Mark Foley will go to a replacement candidate.

Foley resigned from Congress last month after being confronted with sexually explicit Internet communications he had with teens who worked on Capitol Hill as pages.
