Court Reinstates Florida's Election Integrity Laws |
2022-05-09 |
[GatewayPundit] Florida just got a massive win for election integrity. A federal appeals court just reversed a lower court’s decision to overturn Florida’s newest election integrity laws. The laws established Election Crimes and Security and worked to strengthen voting rules in the state. This includes signature verification on mail-in ballots. Epoch Times reported: On Friday, May 6, a federal appeals court granted Florida’s request to reinstate portions of the state’s election laws, struck down by a district court judge who ruled the measures unconstitutional and discriminatory. The court also dealt a massive blow to the lower court’s claim that the law was attempting to suppress the black vote. The Tallahassee Democrat: The ruling also took issue with Walker’s scathing finding that the legislation, championed by Gov. Ron DeSantis and Republican politicians, was part of a pattern of Black voter suppression. Walker took the extraordinary step of putting Florida under federal supervision for future voting laws that deal with certain topics.The district judge "failed to properly account for what might be called the presumption of legislative good faith" in his analysis, the appellate court said. |
