Florida Felon Disenfranchisement Case Reversed by
11th Circuit
See the opinion in Johnson v. Bush here.
Plaintiffs challenged Florida's felon disenfranchisement law and the
district court granted summary judgment for the state defendants. The
appellate court remanded the case for further factual findings on both
equal protection and Voting Rights Act claims related to Florida's law
on felon disenfranchisement. One judge dissented. Thanks to How Appealing for the
pointer.
