In the federal case, Common Cause vice president Kathay Feng said her groupโs lawsuit also is supported by the Alabama decision, despite focusing on a different section of law.
โThe Alabama ruling sent a very clear message that the court was going to look closely at the history of discrimination,โ Feng said. โโฆ Florida has a history of discriminating against black voters. And the impact was directly to take away the opportunity to vote from Black voters in the panhandle of Florida.โ
