Federal Court Strikes Down Florida Voter Suppression Law (Senate Bill 90) | League of Women...

Today, a US federal court struck down key provisions of Florida’s Senate Bill 90 that equated to voter suppression. Chief US District Judge Mark E. Walker ruled that Florida’s Senate Bill 90 violates federal law, unconstitutionally impeding the right to vote for Floridians. He noted that “the right to vote, and the VRA particularly, are under siege.”

Plaintiffs in this litigation included: League of Women Voters of Florida, Black Voters Matter Fund, the Florida Alliance for Retired Americans, and several individual Florida voters. A number of other suits brought forth regarding Senate Bill 90 were later consolidated into the League of Women Voters of Florida’s suit.
