The University of Florida has barred three professors from testifying in a federal lawsuit against the state over a recently enacted elections overhaul bill. Lawyers for a coalition of civil rights groups suing the state made the disclosure in a court document on Friday that was first reported by The New York Times. The lawyers said they seek to ask Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ’s (R) office if it was involved in the university’s decision. The spat comes in a federal lawsuit over Senate Bill 90, which DeSantis signed into law in May. Among other things, the measure creates ID requirements for mail-in voting, restricts the use of ballot drop boxes, and prevents non-poll workers from handing out food or drink to voters waiting line.
