U.S. District Court Orders Florida to Give More Time to Voters Whose Signature had been Rejected

On November 15, U.S. District Court Judge Mark Walker issued an injunction in Democratic Executive Committee of Florida v Detzner, n.d., 4:18cv-520. The injunction applies to approximately 5,000 voters whose provisional ballot, or mailed absentee ballot, was rejected because the signature on the outer envelope of the ballot didn’t appear to match the signature on that voter’s registration form. Here is the order, which gives the voters until November 17 to return to the election office and present evidence that they did sign their outer envelope. The case had been filed on November 8, 2018.

The state has already filed a notice of Appeal to the Eleventh Circuit.
