Congresswoman files suit in Jacksonville – challenging changes to early voting law

July 27, 2012 By Ken Tinkler

A U.S. Congresswoman from the Third Congressional District in Jacksonville, Florida, has filed suit in Federal District Court challenging the HB1355 changes to early voting passed in 2011.  These changes shortened the number of days of early voting and this law has been put into effect in 62 of Florida’s 67 counties, while litigation continues over the law’s compliance with the Federal Voting Rights Act.  Early voting for the primary election starts on Monday, July 30th in Collier, Hardee, Hendry, Hillsborough & Monroe Counties – the other 62 counties start early voting on August 4th.
