The lawsuit challenges Florida's wet signature requirement. Florida statutes require individuals registering to vote to submit a voter application with an original signature. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants have interpreted this to require a signature on paper, and that applications have been rejected if they have been submitted via email or fax or have been submitted with an electronic signature. The plaintiffs contend that this interpretation violates the Materiality Provision of the Civil Rights Act and ask the court to enjoin the defendants from requiring a wet signature for voter registration applications.
