A new law signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis that limits third-party voter registration organizations was enjoined by a federal judge.
US District Judge Mark Walker issued a preliminary injunction against Senate Bill 7020 because he said prohibiting non-U.S. citizens from voter registration work that involves handling forms is unconstitutional.
“The State of Florida is correct to seek integrity in our electoral system,” Chief Judge Walker wrote in his July 3 order. “Sound election laws ensure the people are heard without distortion from negligent and bad-faith actors. Here, however, Florida’s solutions for preserving election integrity are too far removed from the problems it has put forward as justifications.”
