Argument on Florida Voting Law Changes

The AP has this report on yesterday’s argument before a three-judge court, in which the state seeks Section 5 preclearance of portions of a 2011 law (HB 1355) limiting early voting and imposing new voter registration requirements.   The Sun Sentinel reports here that an “attorney representing Florida told a federal three-judge panel in Washington on Thursday that the state may withdraw its request for judicial approval of the registration limits, part of a 2011 rewrite of the state’s elections law.”  The filings in Florida v. United States may be found here.
