The problem with felons is that the majority have more than one offense.

Fair enough. Probably adds more Dems to the rolls, but that’s not the point.

I didn’t know that Florida had a RAT governor.

If the debt is paid, the collateral held is returned.

Part of the debt to society is relinquishing those rights. So by having the rights restored, that means that the debt hasn’t been repaid and nver will be.

>>”Once somebody has truly paid their debt to society, we should recognize it,” explains Crist, a Republican who had initially pushed for a broader clemency program.
From the article:
The change doesn’t include the right to have a gun, which still isn’t restored automatically for people with felony convictions.
If they can’t be trusted with a gun, they can’t be trusted with a vote. This is obviously less about giving people a second chance than about padding the voter lists with Obama supporters.

including the right to ... hold public officeDon't we have enough felons holding public office already? /semisarc
And I surely hope this doesn't apply to all felonious crimes but only the lesser evils.
Confidential to governor suntan: they won't vote Republican out of gratitude, they'll vote RAT for the victimhood designation. Nice move, you idiot.

Sure looks like Florida is going firmly into the (D) column.
With the geriatric vote and the ex-con vote, hussein has it all sewn up.

Does Crist realize that criminals in general are overwhelmingly Democrats? (and not just the ones that hold elected office)

It’s not like they weren’t already voting, even if they didn’t know it.

Funny line:
"State Corrections Secretary Jim McDonough says the agency will do what it can to find individuals through system records to tell them they now can have their rights restored quickly and easily."
We'll have to wait and see what he can do.

I wonder if the DemocRATS also support restoring gun rights to felons who have paid their debt to society. sarc/
