Voter registration groups primarily serving Hispanic and Latino communities are suing to block a new Florida law that will make it harder for them to operate.

New restrictions on voter registration groups in Florida will make it more difficult for them to deliver applications without incurring steep fines.

Despite a couple of trouble-free election cycles in Florida, proposed legislation would create more restrictions around the voting process.

A Florida law that requires residents to register to vote using a handwritten signature is the subject of a federal lawsuit.

The marquee races include a pair of incumbent House members — Republican Neal Dunn and Democrat Al Lawson — facing off against each other in a north Florida district that leans GOP.

One of the most closely-watched races on the ballot in North Florida is the one between Democratic state Senator Loranne Ausley and Republican Corey Simon.

After the 120 Florida House districts were redrawn this year in the once-a-decade reapportionment process, Republicans and Democrats are battling in a relative handful of races in the Nov. 8 elections.

Republicans have controlled the Florida Senate since the 1990s and are looking to expand their majority in the Nov. 8 elections. Democrats, meanwhile, hope to pick up a couple of seats and chip away at the GOP’s control.

The campaign began on Saturday with a voter registration push in the Frenchtown area.
