Reaction to new election law By ABC7 Staff | May 8, 2021 at 8:07 AM EDT - Updated May 8 at 8:08 AM
MANATEE/SARASOTA COUNTIES. (WWSB) -Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an elections overhaul bill Thursday that has already prompted a lawsuit by voter rights groups that say the new law will make it harder for citizens to vote. Florida joins other states as Georgia, Iowa and Montana in enacting restrictive voting laws.
The League of Women Voters of Florida announced earlier this week they filed a suit to nullify the law, which they say is a broad attempt at voter suppression.
