In a Win for Ron DeSantis, Appeals Court Upholds Florida Voting Law

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

(Bloomberg) -- A US appeals court upheld a Florida election law, overturning a federal judge who has ruled several times against the conservative agenda of Governor Ron DeSantis and viewed the voter law as discriminatory against Blacks.

The decision Thursday was a victory for DeSantis, who backed the 2021 law that tightened procedures on absentee ballot drop boxes, voter solicitation at polling places and third-party voter registration groups.

“We hold that the findings of intentional racial discrimination rest on both legal errors and clearly erroneous findings of fact,” a third-judge panel of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled.

The panel, in a 2-1 decision, said the law does not violate the US Constitution or the Voting Rights Act, as US District Judge Mark Walker ruled in March 2022. Voting rights groups had sued to challenge several provisions of the law.
