Federal judge blocks Florida voter registration law
A federal judge halted enforcement of Florida's voter registration law that blocks registrations if numbers do not match state or federal databases. With the presidential primary looming, Judge Stephan Mickle issued a temporary injunction, finding the law conflicts with federal aims to count every eligible vote. Civil rights groups argued the matching process risks errors from typos and name changes, potentially disenfranchising about 14,000 people already unable to register. The state plans to appeal, citing compliance with federal rules and timing concerns.
