A federal civil rights trial wrapping up in Tallahassee may resolve the question of whether felons in Florida who have served their prison sentences – but can’t afford to pay court fines and fees – will be allowed to vote in the upcoming election.
They are finally admitting that felons vote for the criminal party.
I for one would not consider their sentence complete until all fines and fees are paid for. If they had ten days remaining in their sentence when the election occurred, would you let them vote because it was close enough?
Democrats would. They’d let them vote with ten years left.
They want to turn Florida blue and know this is the fastest way to do it. The major metros (Miami-Dade, Ft. Myers, Sarasota, Tampa, Orlando, J’ville, Tallahassee, and Pensacola) are turning the state bluer every election. Us red-state rural folk aren’t going to be able to fend it off forever.
Maybe Trump will get some of that vote given he signed into law First Step Act.
FlA and TX may be blue sooner than we think. “That’s All Folks”.
If Bloomberg were serious in wanting Biden to win, he’d pay every debt allowing them to vote. Of course Bloomberg was a joke who disappeared once Biden was in. I think he was to foil Bernie some how.
Florida or Texas flipped to Blue and it’s all over—Socialism on steroids will follow.
970 WFLA - 970 AM - says 800,000 felons out of prison in Florida.
That’s more than 537 votes that Dubya won with in 2000.
I met a felon the other day working at a business I frequent. He hoped to get his voting rights restored before the election so he could vote for Trump. He was very impressed with Trump’s reforms.
AFAIAC, a felony conviction is a life “no-vote” sentence!
These laws allowing felons to vote are Democrat scams!
I know it, you know it, EVERYBODY knows it!
AFAIK, NO REPUBLICAN RUN STATE HAS EVER ALLOWED FORMER FELONS TO REGAIN THE RIGHT TO VOTE!
