“Many have wondered whether Trump would lose his voting rights as a convicted felon. Not to worry! Under the Floridumb constitution, the governor and his cabinet can restore a felon’s voting rights.”

In 2018, 65% of Fl voters approved an amendment to restore voting rights to felons who had completed terms of their sentence. In 2019, DeSantis signed legislation prohibiting returning citizens from voting unless they paid off debts imposed by a court. The problem was that the FL system was so messed up it could not determine what , if any, debt they owed and if they were eligible to vote. Then they started arresting dozens of citizens for honest mistakes. It was not a “good look” for. DeSantis. It will not be a good look in Fl for him/GOP if they have to restore Trump’s voting rights. Add this to abortion access and medical marijuana on the ballot. Oh, and the heinous law just passed against heat protection for workers.That law also stops cities and counties from requiring businesses with lots of hourly/part-time employees (fast-food tourism,chain retail) from giving workers schedules 2 weeks ahead. Also dissolves living-wage ordinances. All not a good look.

Still a lot of work to do but the RDF (Raging🔥 Dumpster Fire) party just keeps making it easier!

Well, the dumpster has quite a pile of debts "imposed by a court". So he will have to pay them off before he can have his voting rights restored????

How ironic would it be for all felons to have their voting rights restored regardless of debts owed - what good for dumpie sure could benefit other ex-cons! (in a manner of speaking).
