The new laws also require that drop boxes for absentee ballots are monitored. Immediately after the bill was signed into law, Marc Elias, a Democratic lawyer, announced a federal lawsuit challenging it as a form of voter suppression. The filing was brought by the League of Women Voters of Florida, Florida Alliance for Retired Americans, and Black Voters Matters Fund. They said the law runs afoul of the Constitution. The lawsuit asks the court to stop the law from being enforced. “It will deprive lawful Floridians of their most fundamental rights, undermining the integrity of the state’s elections, and once ballots are cast, there will be no meaningful redress for injured voters,” the complaint reads.
