A federal judge in Florida ruled on Thursday that sections of the state’s year-old election law were unconstitutional and racially motivated, and barred the state from making similar changes to its laws in the next decade without the approval of the federal government.

The sharply worded 288-page order, issued by Judge Mark E. Walker of the Federal District Court in Tallahassee, was the first time a federal court had struck down major elements of the wave of voting laws enacted by Republicans since the 2020 election. Finding a pattern of racial bias, Walker in his ruling relied on a little-used legal provision to impose unusual federal restrictions on how a state legislates.

It'll get overturned in the conservative-dominated appeals court of course.
In the last election the people of Florida voted to allow ex-convicts to vote.

The Governor simply refused to enact it and appealed it until they got an ultra conservative 3 judge panel to agree with them.

Florida isn’t a democracy.
