The Florida branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the Haitian-American Grassroots Coalition filed suit in a US District Court to have a state election law thrown out that could disenfranchise eligible citizens from registering and voting in the 2008 elections. The law prevents voters from registering if their driver's licenses or Social Security information does not match what is on the registration form. Opponents say the law wrongly prevented thousands of Florida residents from voting in 2006. Such common mistakes that can prevent someone from registering to vote include having a maiden name on a driver's license. For more information, see the Brennan Center for Justice.
