A federal judge in Florida has temporarily blocked parts of a sweeping elections law from Governor Ron DeSantis that would have set limits on voter registration efforts in the state.
The first line of a searing order for a preliminary injunction from US District Judge Mark Walker calls the law “Florida’s latest assault on the right to vote,” one that would prohibit non-citizens from helping register people to vote, and would make it a felony for voting rights groups who register voters to retain their personal information.
