BREAKING: Voting rights groups sue over Florida's restrictive voting law #SB7050 less than an hour after Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed it. The lawsuit argues that certain provisions of the law violate the U.S. Constitution and Voting Rights Act.

The lawsuit challenges the law's restrictions on third-party voter registration organizations — organizations that engage in community-based voter registration — and limitations on options for voter assistance when requesting a mail-in ballot.
The lawsuit argues that “people of color are five times more likely than white Floridians to register with the assistance" of a third-party voter registration organization and that Black and Latino voters are most likely to be harmed by the law's restrictions.
