As a Floridian I voted on an amendment that allowed felons to vote after serving their time in 2018. It was passed by a large majority.
The law was aimed at carrying out a 2018 constitutional amendment that restored voting rights to felons “upon completion of all terms of sentence,” a key phrase that has been at the heart of an appeal by Gov DeSantis in June 2020.
The appeal was upheld. Many thought the reasoning for the appeal was that most of the felons were minorities that would vote for a Dem.
Bloomberg just stepped in with $16M and freed 32,000 felons to vote effectively thumbing his nose at the Republicans. Brilliant!
