There’s no Federal registry nor Federal prohibition on registrants voting.

So here is my thought process. if we are indeed off the Federal registry. Why are we not allowed to vote in Federal elections. If they dont want us voting for local yocals that is one thing but Pres/VP we should have that right. Has anyone thought to attack our voting rights issue on the Federal only level. Kind of curious. I thought the right to vote was a federal right.
To address your point about each state. I am sad to say a state’s rights conservative. My only family with my encouragement voted for DeSantis, Rubio, Trump, Scott. Even though every year DeSantis makes my life worse. I try to look at the overall picture.

Sorry I am ranting lol.

Same. My arrest was in 1991 in Florida and the registry didn’t start until 1997 here. I was retro-actively applied for life. Almost 35 years after my offense, still registering 4 times a year. Since the registry was retro-actively applied to many of us, how does state law then override a federal law?

Do all 50 states get to decide what the registry looks like for each state? [Moderator’s note: Yes]. I know they have to follow the basics of federal law, but we have been seeing lots and lots of registry restrictions lately, causing some to find no place to live except in the woods.

I have a quick question you mentioned that your duty to register under federal law has expired how do you know that. My offense predates the registry 1995

I pay 200$ a year in Memphis TN

I pay 150 a year in Tennessee

It is just a new form of debtor’s prison, but one that can never be paid.

In all surrounding states, I would either no longer be required to register at all (such as Ohio), would have a fixed term of registration (10 years upon moving to Pennsylvania), or would be able to petition for removal (as in Virginia), but in West Virginia I would be subject to registration for life for something that isn’t even a crime there. How is this rationally related to a compelling government interest?
