DeSantis & voting rights: 1
NAACP: 0
A judge has thrown out a suit from the NAACP and others challenging Florida's voter registration process.
After advocacy groups such as the NAACP sued claiming Florida’s voter registration process was just too strict, a federal judge said that it is not.
On Monday, Judge Allen Winsor of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida approved a motion to dismiss a case that challenged Florida’s signature requirement, according to Florida’s Voice.
Groups including the NAACP and Vote.org, filed the lawsuit.
The groups sought to throw out parts of the Florida law they felt contradicted what’s known as the Materiality Provision of federal civil rights law saying state laws should not use “immaterial errors or omissions to deny the right to vote.”
Providing “original signatures” was restrictive and also disenfranchising, the groups claimed.
The judge, appointed by Donald Trump, ruled it was not.

This is a good win for voting integrity.
The left consistently attacks him. Just nothing sticks.

Nothing. He's like Teflon.

That'll work. (And yes, the NAACP did issue a travel advisory for Florida).
Not tired of winning.

When you dig into the law, it is perfectly reasonable. When you dig into the lawsuit, it is frivolous.
What you never hear about is individual voters actually being disenfranchised. I'm still waiting for that first example. https://t.co/YZoWJ4xioQ
The law was reasonable.
"The lawsuit challenged the “original signatures” requirement for voter registration, claiming that forcing people to use a ‘wet signature’ as opposed to photocopies, facsimiles, or electronic checkmarks disenfranchised voters."

We can have this in all 50 states. https://t.co/yIuGuDtwPC
This is the NAACP's argument, and this judge didn't buy it.

NAACP claimed that forcing voters to physically write out their signatures- instead of a photocopy or electronic check- "disenfranchised voters". They lost.#DeSantisDelivers #RD24 https://t.co/KsSggxcPJQ
Let's be clear: this isn't just a win for DeSantis. It's a win for voting rights and voting integrity across the country. It also exposes how racist the Left is: they literally think certain groups of people are incapable of providing an original signature in order to vote.
It's abhorrent, and the soft bigotry of low expectations.
