"Florida Judge Slams DeSantis' Controversial Elections Law"

A federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction blocking parts of a new elections law in Florida that were challenged by voter-registration groups. The blocked provisions would have prevented non-U.S. citizens from handling voter-registration applications and made it a felony for voter-registration group workers to retain personal information of voters. The judge sided with groups such as the NAACP and the League of Women Voters of Florida, stating that the changes are unconstitutional. The law, signed by Governor Ron DeSantis in May, aimed to regulate elections and ensure security but was criticized for potentially suppressing Hispanic and Black voters.
