U.S. Judge Orders Florida Counties To Help Puerto Ricans Vote

A federal judge on Friday ordered 32 Florida counties to provide sample Spanish language ballots to help more than 30,000 Puerto Ricans, including many displaced by last year’s Hurricane Maria, cast votes in the November election.
Chief Judge Mark Walker of the federal court in Tallahassee, the state capital, said failing to help eligible voters would likely violate the federal Voting Rights Act, which blocks states from conditioning the right to vote on an ability to understand English.
