Fla. limits on voter registration drives blocked
The Associated Press
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- A federal judge says some of Florida's new limits on voter registration drives are likely unconstitutional.
U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle on Thursday temporarily blocked implementation until a trial can be held.
One provision requires groups or individuals signing up voters to submit their registration forms to election officials within 48 hours of collecting them.
Others impose what the judge called "burdensome record-keeping and reporting requirements that serve little if any purpose."
