Florida Rights Group Sue for Illegal Intimidation of People with Felonies Seeking to Vote
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Florida Rights Restoration Committee is suing Governor De Santis for
illegally intimidating people with felonies in order to prevent them
from voting. The lawsuit accuses Florida of creating intentional
obstacles to determine voting eligibility and creating an "election
police" to go after people who may have cast ballots without knowing
they were still not legally permitted to do so. Almost all those
targeted by the police force were Black and Democrats.
