ACLU

One issue centers on a website launched by a state agency to advocate against the proposed constitutional amendment. It would expand abortion rights until fetal viability.

Gov. Ron DeSantis directed universities to "deactivate" chapters of the group "Students for Justice in Palestine." The ACLU says he can't do that.

After years of voter disenfranchisement, Floridians had finally had enough. In 2018 state voters approved a constitutional amendment restoring voting rights to most felons. The legislature attempted to stymie that effort by passing a state law requiring them to repay fines, fees, and restitution. A lawsuit ensued, with organizations like the ACLU claiming the law amounted to a poll tax, and Republican lawmakers defending it. This story takes a look at what’s happened with the amendment since it passed, and the push to get people signed up to vote before the August primary.

Voter registration advocates are rushing to register new voters in the run-up to the August primary and November presidential election. In Florida, the effort has been slowed as the state fights a lawsuit over whether felons have to repay fines and fees before they can vote. The first of a four-part series examines the implications of Florida’s Amendment 4, and the ongoing battle over felon voting rights.
