After reading both items I am not so sure it would render the ballot initiative moot.
It seems the judge only finds the lack of adherence to the ‘rules’ the main problem and that it still could be a 5 or 7 yr wait after all sentencing complete, but I think the amendment could make the re-enfranchisement immediate after completion of sentence.
I do agree tho that the summary judgement does not exclude anyone from getting their voting rights back, as the initiative does, maybe automatically after the waiting period. We shall find out some more on the 12th of this month.

@ G Not totally Mr Meads fault the fact of the matter is certain politicians refused to support the initiative if sex offenders were included. So it was decided to get as many ex-felons through as possible and revisit the issue at a later date. This is a fact

I ben told Rick Scott wife is on the bord for geo prison and has a lot of stock with geo prisons

Flipping Off the Constitution……that is by far the MOST ACCURATE description of what these Florida Politicians are doing during every session.

Pay attention because it’s a rather simple solution and I’m only going to say it once.

Ready ?…Finish your sentence and “everything” gets automatically restored regardless of your crime. How about that for constitutional ?

The U.S constitution is not a complicated document that’s written in ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics. It’s clear-cut English. Now be good little politicians for once and go brief that before the deadline will ya ? You’re welcome.

Mr. Meade
With all sincerity I commend you in your fight.
However it breaks my heart to see that you are doing EXACTLY what Florida has done. Your initiative proposes that instead of Florida deciding which felons are “worthy” YOU now decide since you exclude sex offenders and convicted murderers on your initiative. Have they not paid their dues? Can they not turn the page? What makes YOU an expert on that? Are you not aware that numerous studies show a lower recidivism rate for sex offenders than most crimes? As one of many examples I urge you to read the report by the Office of Justice Programs of the United States Department of Justice which explains that the recidivism rate for sex offenders has been shown to be lower than any other crime except murder. What was YOUR offense? Studies have shown YOU have a higher chance of re-offending than sex offenders. SO what gives YOU the right to decide your charge is OK but not others? So while I commend you on your initiative, shame on you for doing the EXACT same thing Florida currently does. They pick and choose. Arbitrarily.
Thank god a Florida judge has leaned towards stating the voting right of ALL ex-felons is unconstitutional. I hope his ruling holds and makes your initiative mute. Because his is the right answer, and not a hypocritical initiative.

You can see the frustration of the author towards this practice!

The two matters are separate.
This would render the ballot measure moot.
