MIAMI: Human rights groups on Friday sued Florida over a law that in effect denies more than a million ex-convicts the right to vote in the 2020 presidential election in the key swing state.
"Over a million Floridians were supposed to reclaim their place in the democratic process, but some politicians clearly feel threatened by greater voter participation," said Julie Ebenstein, a lawyer working with an ACLU voter rights project. But the Republican-dominated state legislature created another bill, the one signed Friday, that curbed the process.
The issue is highly sensitive in a state where elections tend to be decided by a very narrow margin. And Florida also tends to play a key role in deciding the ultimate winner.
