Judge Strikes Down Felon Disenfranchisement System in Florida
A federal judge in Florida has struck down Florida’s system for determining which ex-felons have the right to vote, handing an unexpected victory to advocates of broader voting rights.
The ruling does not immediately restore voting rights to ex-felons, but it could make the process easier.
Florida is one of a handful of states that permanently disenfranchise convicted felons, even after they have completed the terms of their sentence. The result is that more than 1.5 million Floridians are barred from voting, including 20 percent of voting-age African Americans. In November, Floridians will vote on a constitutional amendment to overturn the state’s disenfranchisement law.
A judge just delivered a huge win for voting rights in Florida
Whee... They can file new applications to vote... They have rightie' to vote.
Some are did so in 2016 and now, for 2018, as they done their time.
How many felons are in Florida, WOW some 1.5M? Wheee. Them be new Dem Voters. I would think.
