"Federal Judge Blocks Key Provisions of Florida's Controversial Voting Law"

A federal judge has blocked portions of a new elections law in Florida that banned non-citizens from handling voter registration forms and prohibited third-party voter registration groups from retaining personal information. The judge ruled that the state failed to provide evidence that these restrictions were necessary and that they infringed on individual rights. The NAACP and other groups had sued the state, arguing that the law made it more difficult to register voters in marginalized communities. Republicans claimed the law was aimed at enhancing election security.
