New LWV Lawsuit Against Florida Voting Restrictions

Brennan Center: “On December 15, 2011, the League of Women Voters of Florida, Rock the Vote, and the Florida Public Interest Research Group Education Fund (“PIRG”) filed suit in federal court in Tallahassee challenging Florida’s onerous new restrictions on community-based voter registration drives.”

And just so you are not confused: “The League of Women Voters of Florida is also involved in another ongoing suit about Florida’s new voting restrictions in the District Court of Washington D.C.   In that case, in which the Brennan Center, the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, and the pro bono law firm of Bryan Cave LLP represent the League and the National Council of La Raza, numerous civil rights organizations and individuals including voters and election officials, have intervened to illustrate how the law harms minority voters.  See State of Florida v. United States of America for more information.”
