Joyous day for dangerous party called demorats.

It will do them no good because they never vote anyway

So democrats just added more Florida felon votes to Virginia felon votes.

Criminals now controle Florida

lori_rozsa how does one become an 'ex' felon? Either you are or you aren't! People wonder why crime is so high

“You’re People” CAN BOTE! All you have to do is register like everyone else!

smartdissent This article has to go there. Pointing to some ex-felons are Republicans. That misses the entire point. They are having their rights restored as citizens. Not as party members. Democrats are more prone to advocate for human rights and poured money into this act. Inclusiveness.

Samsmithrocks00 What could possibly go wrong?

Excellent. They’ve paid their debts to society and should now be able to participate in its elections!

Guess law abiding citizens has no rights Well you all voted for this

more democrats...the state going BLUE for sure....yuk

Who in the f cares these felons won’t vote the ones that do will be a fraction of 1%. Trumps administration is all over voter fraud many will be arrested and some will be pulled from their offices because of the scam.

Now get them registered before 2020!

Look! 1.4 Million more Democrat votes possible in FL just like that.

I´m sure that DeepOnion will be one of the top cryptocurrencies. Why? Because their features like DeepSend, DeepVault, Stealth Addresses, Smart Contracts and more. $ONION DeepOnion getdeeponion

GREAT !!!!!!

Democrats created mass incarceration. Joe Biden wrote and co sponsored 3 laws that led to the mass incarceration of black men. He created the 3 strikes rule. The Clintons pushed the 1994 crime act through. I hope these felons remember to keep Democrats out of office.

bye bye, 'lil' Marco'

Relying on felons Stay classy DNC At least in NC we voted for Voter ID Be curious to see how many districts have significantly lower voter turnout now you have to prove you are the one voting

1.4 million? An astonishing number. I thought people went to Florida to retire?

Florida Set to Restore Voting Rights to Felons Amid Threats of LawsuitsSome Florida officials are balking at the state’s new amendment restoring voting rights to about 1.4 million people with felony records that is set to take effect Tuesday. Oh cool the medicare frauds are making sure the people don't get what they voted for in a timely manner Giving voters rights to felons is a big mistake. Now politicians can attempt to lower min sentences, paroles, etc in exchange for votes. They can make certain sex crimes not sex crimes anymore etc. All in the name of wanting your vote to retain power. More unethical system fixing and racism by the GOP and Ron DeSantis.

Florida Republicans seek to make ex-felons pay up before exercising newly-won voting rightsA pair of Republican-led bills in Florida's state legislature would require certain ex-felons, whose voting rights were restored last November in a statewide referendum, to pay fees before they can head to the polls In other words, a modernized poll tax. This is unconstitutional and should be thrown out immediately. Civil rights lawyers should look into this. ACLU First off none of them should have their voting rights restored! But the Dems will scrape the toilet and dig out violent illegal immigrants, Ex-Cons and any other miscreants in a hope of growing their base. Perhaps the victims of these Criminals should have a say! Poll tax? I feel like there's something that protects Americans from such measures, but I can't recall what it is.

Florida Law Restoring The Vote To Felons Takes EffectA cumbersome, backlogged process for restoring felons' voting rights has meant that more than a tenth of adult Floridians have been ineligible to vote. Thanks to an amendment approved by voters in November, that changes today. It’s illegal for a felon to vote. Why? Because they lost that right. Democrats are desperate. This is why the want illegals. walkaway 10% of Florida’s adult population are felons? Really I find that number astounding!! Is that an anomaly (possibly wrong?) or about right for the whole US? A price paid should mean a payment honored in all states.
