COLLEGE CAMPUS VOTING RULING

A federal judge has ruled that Florida college campuses can be used for early voting sites in this year’s elections. U.S. District Judge Mark Walker said the state’s ban on using college and university campuses for early voting sites is unconstitutional. The League of Women Voters of Florida and several college students had sued Secretary of State Ken Detzner over the ban in May. In 2014 Detzner said the early voting law does not allow it, although voting on college campuses during Election Day is allowed. Judge Walker said Detzner’s decision created a secondary class of voters and put a lopsided burden on students.
