- W8116670 abstract "Between 2011 and 2012, nineteen states passed legislation changing their voting laws. The State of Florida, in particular, passed House Bill (H.B.) 1355 that made a total of eighty changes to state's election laws and procedures. The most substantial of these changes were new regulations for third-party voter registration groups and limitations on early voting. Additionally, state made plans to its voter rolls of registered voters who may be ineligible to cast a ballot. The Voting Rights Act (VRA) restricts changes enacted by Florida from immediately taking effect. Florida, along with other jurisdictions with a history of racial discrimination, is required to obtain of their election law changes under section 5 of VRA. Florida must submit new election practice [s], or procedure[s] to Department of Justice (DOJ) or, alternatively, District Court for District of Columbia for review. The changes must be reviewed, and will be cleared only if they have neither the purpose nor...the effect of denying or abridging right to vote on account of race or color. However, following passage of H.B. 1355 and plan to carry out a statewide voter purge, officials in Florida displayed hostility toward compliance with preclearance process. The state alternated between submitting changes to DOJ and district court, made plans to implement changes contained in H.B. 1355 prior to preclearance being granted, maintained that preclearance requirement is unconstitutional, and altogether refused to submit their plans to purge voter rolls for preclearance. This Note explores Florida’s regressive voting changes in advance of 2012 election and analyzes these changes under standard for preclearance set by VRA. This Note finds that section 5 preclearance has been effective to a point in preventing most drastic of Florida's election law changes from becoming law. However, this Note further finds that Florida's experience demonstrates that vigorous enforcement of strictures of section 5 is still needed to prevent future abuses of voting rights. Part I summarizes history of VRA and reviews Florida election law changes and voter purge of 2011. Part II evaluates significance of Florida's election law changes as they relate to voters’ access to polls. Part II also discusses district court’s preclearance decision on H.B. 1355. Part III analyzes Florida's changes under applicable standards for preclearance under VRA. Part III also argues that district court, failed to address important aspects of H.B. 1355, and in doing so permitted covered counties in state to limit numbers of days polls were open during early voting period which subsequently caused decreased minority participation in 2012 election." @default.
