Republican Governor Rick Scott has been sued by the ACLU over a new voting scheme which seeks to limit voters' options. The article at Truthout referenced here tells more.
This is one in a series of recent law suits brought against the radical-right-wing chief executive of Florida. Scott is successor to the mantle of the great progressive governor Leroy Collins, who was an early champion of civil rights in the state. Following Collins later, "New South" Governors Reuben Askew and Bob Graham continued the progress. The Scott agenda, on the other hand, is a fairly retrograde attempt to turn the clock back to a time when wealthy, entrenched white men ruled the Deep South.
Let us wish the ACLU well.
