Member Submission: Story Deserving of Rebuttal
I hate it when ” journalists” interpret things in their own way, please read this story, I think it deserves a rebuttal..http://www.fox13news.com/news/local-news/bill-to-address-restoration-of-ex-cons-voting-rights i love the line ” except for murders and rapists ”
TAMPA (FOX 13) – State Sen. Darryl Rouson (D-St. Petersburg) plans to file a bill in hopes of establishing order to the new amendment to the state constitution that allows felons who have served their time to register to vote.
Approved by 64 percent of voters in November, Amendment 4 is supposed to give back the right to vote to 1.5 million Floridians who were once convicted of felony charges – except murderers and rapists – by January 8.

If that was the case, then 20 years, after a terminated two year probation, I could Vote!
Is it “except murderers and rapists”? or “except murderers and sex offenders”? Very few sex offenders are rapists.
The story said rapists
I know the story said “rapists” but I do believe that is not what the amendment says.
