Civil Rights are going to be a huge issue going forward. Georgia passed draconian election and voting laws and now Florida is up to the same tricks.

Pamela Karlan, principal deputy assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice, warned Senate President Karen Fann, a Republican, in a letter obtained by CNN that turning over election materials to audit contractor Cyber Ninjas -- a Sarasota, Florida audit contractor hired by the GOP-controlled Arizona Senate -- could be a violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1960. Karlan also wrote in the letter that there are "at least issues of potential non-compliance with federal laws enforced by the Department."...
