A federal court has ruled that Republican Governor Rick Scott's new restrictions on early voting in five counties covered under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act.
The court claimed efforts to restrict early voting in these counties -- which target minority groups more likely to cast a ballot before election day -- are unfair and illegal. According to the judges, the Republican law runs afoul of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
Scott's response: Let's limit early voting across the whole state.
