"county commissioners shall be nominated and elected to office in accordance with the provisions of s. 124.01, or as otherwise provided by law, unless a proposition calling for single-member representation within the county commission districts is submitted to and approved by a majority of the qualified electors voting on such proposition in the manner provided in this section..."

which means, in layman's terms, the Governor doesn't have the authority to appoint a commissioner in Sumter County.
I'll go with the Governor's legal team on the legality of it LOL.
