PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. -

It was a double whammy from Washington for Gov. Rick Scott and the GOP-controlled legislature.

The Justice Department says efforts to purge the state's voter rolls must stop and a federal judge says Florida's 2011 election reform law goes too far in preventing third-party groups from registering new voters.

Local 10 senior political reporter Michael Putney talks about it with Congressman Ted Deutch, Broward Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes and Annie Betancourt of the League of Women Voters.
