Hopefully gay rights organizations like GLAAD and HRC will now join with the NAACP and back the NAACP's stance on stopping GOP vote suppression.

"how many LESS applicants after the legislation?" as U.S. District Judge Mary Scriven stated in ruling the POS legislation unconstitutional: "But there's no reason to assume each person who declined to take the test did so in fear of a positive result, Scriven wrote. Since the law required applicants to pay for their own tests, what if some of them couldn't afford the $30 cost? What if some of them considered it a violation of their rights?

What part of the 5th paragraph in NY Times article was hidden? Is that part of "always?"
"From July through October in Florida — the four months when testing took place before Judge Scriven’s order — 2.6 percent of the state’s cash assistance applicants failed the drug test, or 108 of 4,086, according to the figures from the state obtained by the group. The most common reason was marijuana use. An additional 40 people canceled the tests without taking them.
Because the Florida law requires that applicants who pass the test be reimbursed for the cost, an average of $30, the cost to the state was $118,140. This is more than would have been paid out in benefits to the people who failed the test, Mr. Newton said.
As a result, the testing cost the government an extra $45,780, he said." http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/18/us/no-savin...
