Florida Felon Disenfranchisement Case Reversed by 11th Circuit

See the opinion in Johnson v. Bush here. Plaintiffs challenged Florida’s felon disenfranchisement law and the district court granted summary judgment for the state defendants. The appellate court remanded the case for further factual findings on both equal protection and Voting Rights Act claims related to Florida’s law on felon disenfranchisement. One judge dissented. Thanks to How Appealing for the pointer.
