Omissions put thousands of Floridians with past criminal convictions at risk of criminal prosecution

The League of Women Voters of Florida and the Florida State Conference of the NAACP filed suit in federal court today against Florida’s secretary of state, charging that the state’s voter registration application violates the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA).
