The law tightens rules on mailed ballots, drop boxes and other popular election methods.
FILE - In this Oct. 26, 2020 file photo, an election worker sorts vote-by-mail ballots at the Miami-Dade County Board of Elections, in Doral, Fla. – A federal appeals court granted Florida's request to reinstate portions of the state's election laws on Friday while it appeals a lower court's decision that the law was aimed at suppressing Black voters.
The law tightens rules on mailed ballots, drop boxes and other popular election methods — changes that made it more difficult for Black voters who, overall, have more socioeconomic disadvantages than white voters, Walker wrote in his ruling. “We are deeply disappointed and disturbed by today’s appeals court decision, putting back in place one of the most restrictive voting rights laws in the country. Let’s be clear, this law undoes the progress that voting rights groups have made and targets the very tools minority communities, like ours, use to increase voter turnout,” Jasmine Burney-Clark, founder of Equal Ground, said in a news release.
