Latino civil rights groups sue 32 Florida counties for not providing bilingual voting material
As the November midterm elections approach, several civic engagement groups filed a suit, on Thursday, against the Florida Secretary of State and 32 Florida counties for what they say is a violation of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, requiring bilingual voting materials and assistance be provided to Puerto Ricans. [...]
Back in April, Demos and LatinoJustice/PRLDEF, who are representing the plaintiffs along with the firm Altshuler Berzon, sent letters to Supervisors of Elections in 13 counties urging them to provide bilingual voting materials to the increasing number of Puerto Ricans who are now living in Florida.
