If I remember correctly, it was an addition to the Florida constitution. This has ACLU lawsuit written all over it. You Floridians should be all over your politicians for spending money to deprive ex felons of their rights.

The Clown show is in the "do-nothing" U.S. House of Representatives. After the fake impeachment, they'll be 0 for 3, Kavanaugh, Russian collusion, and fake impeachment. O'fer.

GREEN Governor Republican Ron DeSantis will get around to it, there's no huge hurry because there's not any big elections coming up any time soon. The Republicans have already won the big ones for Governor and Senator.

He wants to get the legislation right, so he's being methodical.

Democrats rushed Obamacare through, and it turned into an unmitigated disaster that they are now begging the Republicans to fix. DeSantis doesn't want to repeat that mistake.

DeSantis will take his time, and get it right the first time. Don't worry, the law will be in place by the time Comey, Brennan, Ciaramella, the Bidens, and Hillary are out of prison!

#1: There are about 400 Bills the House has passed that are sitting on Moscow Mitch's desk and hasn't done anything about it.
He is a Obstructionist and you should be ashamed.

#2: Any Governor of Florida has to be "Environmental". This is not a "partisan" issue in our state and you know it.

#3: Republicans had 10 years since ObamaCare to "Repeal & Replace" with Trump's "lower cost & affordable" alternative.

Where is it? Along with his "Wall"?

You've been "conned".

I'd hang around here and continue winning all of these political debates, but its 79 degrees and Sunny here in Sarasota, so I'm off to the beach to smoke a victory cigar.

No, the bolded was not in the ballot, it was added later by the corrupt GOP congress, which is exactly the issue here. Its a poll tax.

The ballot said they would regain their voting rights after the completion of their sentences. That is what the people in Florida voted for.

Since this restitution of voting rights was written into the state's constitution, for the legislature to restrict its application, should be unconstitutional. But of course, it all depends on which party controls the state's supreme court.

You might be taken seriously if even one of the 200 + bills that the House sent Moscow Mitch weren't sent to committee to die.
