They got 766k votes? BS...
If they served their time let them vote, unless they committed vote fraud.
I would also exclude office holders who accepted bribes but that would rule out a lot of the state legislature and US Congress and Senate...
research shows that people with criminal convictions tend to vote for Democratic candidates.
Professional courtesy
How about financial reparations?
This is a left wing press release , i suspect .
These phony signatures needs to be checked first .
I saw a thug trying to get signatures .
No one was signing
Felonies should not vote .
It’s your punishment .
Florida alread has a procedure in place where felons can apply to have their voting rights reinstated.
If they are too lazy or disinterested in voting to apply I say its too bad.
They knew (or should have known) that losing the right to vote is part of the penalty paid for committing a felony.
There is no doubt that certain people (democrats) want this ballot measure to pass because they know many felons aren’t really interested in politics and will not vote.
But that’s okay with the democrats - they will be happy to register the reinstated felons and do the voting for them - just as they already do for many other qualified voters who don’t vote.
Its an ongoing racket in the large cities.
Officials know about it but guess which party runs the large cities and has the election supervisors in place.
To tell the truth, Im not sure where I fall on this. My first instinct is to say no, but truthfully, thats only because Id like to keep Democrats disenfranchised. As a Christian and a conservative, I believe that peoples rights should not be restricted once a person has served their sentence. Ive spent too much time in court to believe justice is blind, but it seems many parole boards are dumb...
All felons are equal but some are more equal than others.
This is Soros or similar. Last election the FL Democrats pushed medical marijuana on the ballot as a ghetto GOTV drive. Now they are doing felons on the ballot. Predictable as can be.
WHAT THE HELL!!!
We can win without Florida - all we need to do is beat the Dems in California and New York.
Can’s see a DAMN THING WRONG with that plan.
If the felons did their time - let the Dems have Florida - after all WE DON’T NEED IT - we’ll just win CALIFORNIA and NEW YORK - no problem!!!
(hint - it’s not 1980, or 1984, anymore)
Felons, welfare leeches, illegal aliens, and communists — the Dems’ base.
“As a Christian...hard to see a problem with felons voting”
What really SUCKS is that Christians seem to have NO CLUE as to what the Left has in store for them, should they achieve absolute power (and handing them Florida pretty much does that).
So to ‘Christians’, do a bit of research on Stalin’s Russia, or Mao’s China (or even today’s China) to see how Christians are treated once the Left has absolute power.
The idea that ANYONE on our side would hand Florida to the Democrats, with NOTHING IN RETURN to offset it (such as real Voter ID), is just plain sickening, and makes me wonder if they hate their own children, because they certainly hate my children.
Yes voting felons & firearms, what could go wrong?
Felons. Doing the job Florida voters don’t want to do.
I’ve worked on petitions before. Signatures have to match address on voting card. Over half these signatures will be challenged and nullified. If you need 750.000.00 valid signatures you need to get 2 million.
Wont happen...Conservatives anf Tea Party are going to stop this...no problem.
I know a few felons - my friend owns rooming houses and the Dept of Corrections send felons to it. A few of the felons are smart - the manager of the rooming house had a DUI felony, but he is a Republican. He likes Trump. He wishes he could have voted. Not all felons will vote D.
