- Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office said U.S. District Judge Mark Walker’s ruling on the elections law from 2021 was “clearly wrong” following the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals voting against rehearing the reversal of elections provisions signed into law in 2021.
- Florida’s election law (SB 90) strengthened voter identification, prohibited the mass mailing of ballots, banned ballot harvesting, and prohibited private money from administering Florida elections.
- In April 2022, Walker ruled that parts of the Florida law were unconstitutional and discriminatory, and in May 2022, a federal appeals court reinstated the law. The appeals court rejected Walker’s position and upheld the law.
