A growing number of nonprofit organizations in states across the country are finding new rules make it difficult or impossible to continue their nonpartisan voter registration efforts. In Florida, the League of Women Voters and a host of other groups have sued the state to stop enforcement of rules that make such voter registration drives substantially more difficult and risky.
The League of Women Voters of Florida has worked to encourage eligible voters to register to vote since 1939. After a new law took effect in January, however, the group suspended all of its voter registration programs, blaming what it calls the Florida law's 'punishing and complicated regime of deadlines and fines.'"
