Like the others, the suit asks the court to block implementation of the law, claiming it “creates major obstacles to vote-by-mail, curtails access to drop boxes, and criminalizes line warming activities such as providing water to voters.”
“It is an anti-Democracy bill that makes it harder to vote by mail, criminalizes line warming activities… violates free speech rights...denies reasonable accommodation for people with disabilities," said Judith Browne Dianis, executive director of Advancement Project National Office, during a Zoom news conference Tuesday.
Lawsuit 'explicitly alleges race discrimination'
The suit was filed by Advancement Project National Office, Demos, and LatinoJustice PRLDEF on behalf of Florida Rising, Faith in Florida, Equal Ground Education Fund, UnidosUS, the Hispanic Federation and Poder Latinx.
