Does the law require him to recuse himself if he’s on the ballot?

Not exactly, but you have to look at the statutes as to who can do what and how quickly.

See Title IX, the Florida Election code. Specifically §97.012(14) Secretary of State as chief election officer.

(14) Bring and maintain such actions at law or in equity by mandamus or injunction to enforce the performance of any duties of a county supervisor of elections or any official performing duties with respect to chapters 97 through 102 and 105 or to enforce compliance with a rule of the Department of State adopted to interpret or implement any of those chapters. (a) Venue for such actions shall be in the Circuit Court of Leon County. (b) When the secretary files an action under this section and not more than 60 days remain before an election as defined in s. 97.021, or during the time period after the election and before certification of the election pursuant to s. 102.112 or s. 102.121, the court, including an appellate court, shall set an immediate hearing, giving the case priority over other pending cases.
So SecState has the juice, WHERE THE HECK IS DETZNER??? That is who Nelson sued.

OTOH, Scott's power as Governor to remove an official has due process to follow. It appears through Title X §112.40 lets the governor send an executive order via the SecState to the Senate. Sent by Registered Mail, Select committee formed ... Y'all want to wait for that to happen?

IANL but Detzner seems to be MIA.
