TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) Two more groups sued Florida over its new restrictive elections laws Monday, adding to a growing chorus of voter rights advocates who say the rules could keep some people from casting ballots.
The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Tallahassee by the Fair Elections Center and the Southern Poverty Law Center on behalf of Head Count and the Harriet Tubman Freedom Fighters.
The suit argues that the new law foments distrust against civic organizations that work to register voters by suggesting that residents use the government’s website instead.
