Many of the law’s provisions technically take effect immediately. A lawsuit is already claimingthe bill would unconstitutionally disrupt the last weekend of early voting in the Miami-Dade County elections, which are Tuesday. #
The law would also force people who recently moved to Miami-Dade, and planned on changing their address, to vote by provisional ballot. #
The bill would also likely require approval by the U.S. Department of Justice, because five counties in Florida are covered by the Voting Rights Act. #
We’ll have more details as this develops. #
