U.S. District Court Strikes Down Florida Secretary of State Directive Forbidding Early Voting Sites on State Colleges

On July 24, U.S. District Court Judge Mark E. Walker, an Obama appointee, enjoined a directive of the Florida Secretary of State, telling county election officials that they are forbidden to designate early voting sites on state university and college campuses. League of Women Voters v Detzner, n.d. 4:18cv-251.

State law says county election officials can open early voting sites in any “government-owned community center.” The Secretary of State interpreted that law to exclude community centers that exist on campuses, but the court order says that interpretation discriminates against younger voters.
