Politically, this move may help Trump.
It’s going to be really hard to hold Florida in 2020.
However, if one million felons get their voting rights restored - approved in 2018 midterm election - it will be impossible to hold Florida.
Not really-— as of July per the same ballot amendment- the legislature amended the laws as voted on the ballot— they exclude murderers, sex offender, and several other categories, and those that remain must clear court ordered fees and any fines they have.All responsibility is on the the felons for compliance with the new payments law, who risk prosecution if they get it wrong. The elections security is cross referenced to all of these- and they cannot register to vote without clearing these fines and fees, or any recent outstanding ones. They have til Feb. 18th to have done this, when registration ends. No provisional ballots possible for these either.
Why do you assume people convicted of felon will automatically vote dem.
The maybe a new voting block, "FELONS FOR TRUMP - 2020".
Ya gotta remember, he got a bunch of them out --- early.
No, it won’t, Florida loves him.
Also, I can tell you from personal experience that not every convict here is a Democrat.
I know at least one, who can still vote, went to jail over family squabbles with ex-wife and such, and he is a Trump nut, ‘Merica, all that good stuff!
