A federal judge ordered 32 Florida counties to provide ballots in Spanish in 2020.
Chief U.S. District Judge Mark Walker issued a preliminary injunction that follows a similar ruling in September. In the earlier ruling, Walker required the 32 counties to provide Spanish-language sample ballots but did not require Spanish-language ballots and other assistance, saying there wasn’t enough time before the November 2018 elections. The ruling Friday goes further in requiring Spanish-language ballots.
