Ron DeSantis Faces Lawsuit Following Signing of Florida SAVE Act
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has been sued in federal court shortly after signing the state's version of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. The law mandates that voters provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship, such as a passport or birth certificate, to register or remain on voter rolls. This state-level legislation follows the stalled federal SAVE America Act, which proposed similar requirements. The lawsuit, filed by a coalition of voting rights and civil rights organizations, challenges the law's constitutionality, arguing it imposes undue burdens on eligible voters and could lead to wrongful removal from voter rolls. The plaintiffs seek to block the law's implementation, citing potential disenfranchisement of minority and low-income voters.
