Florida sues DHS for refusing to verify voter registration citizenship information | Florida
SUMMARY: Florida has filed a lawsuit against DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for failing to provide citizenship status information about registered voters, despite legal obligations. The state‘s request for data on potentially noncitizen voters was denied, prompting Attorney General Ashley Moody to take action after previous attempts to access voter verification through the SAVE program.
