Florida Voting Rights Groups Sue Over Restriction on Voter Registration

On March 16, some Florida voting rights groups filed a federal lawsuit against the Florida law that does not permit anyone to submit a voter registration application that doesn’t bear a “wet ink” signature, except through a Motor Vehicle registration office. Vote.org v Byrd, n.d., 4:23cv-111. Here is the Complaint.

The case is assigned to Judge Allen Winsor, a Trump appointee.

The plaintiffs took the considerable trouble to sue each of Florida’s county elections supervisors, as well as the Secretary of State. That is because past experience in Florida voting rights cases have shown that if only the Secretary of State is sued, the Secretary of State will argue that he is not the proper defendant.
