No Voting for Sex Offenders or Murderers Says Florida
Florida’s state Supreme Court on Thursday approved language for a proposed amendment to the state Constitution that would restore voting rights to felons after they complete their sentences.
If the measure makes it on the ballot and receives a 60% favorable vote, the voting rights of Felons in Florida could be restored upon completion of their sentence.
Unfortunately, the rights would not be returned to murders or the very broad category of “sex offenders”. It’s not right!

I hope to see the ACLU Get involved in this as i think it is illegal to single out select groups that are not narrowed without just cause.
I Think Florida lawmakers and judges are starting to make themselves look like the scum of the earth! there Judgement day will come one day and hopefully soon!
this move is explicitly taxation without representation!

This makes me sick to my stomach. Discrimination at its best. The Florida Supreme court approving this unconstitutional ridiculousness should be shameful of themselves and anyone who supports it.
Florida will say that they are not discriminating against registrants and murderers because they have another set of prcedures to have their rights restored. Although as stated the football will be moved when we attempt to kick it or the requirements will be so high the pope wouldn’t qualify
What happened to equal application of the law? Have we now gotten to the point that some debts to society can never be paid?
Absolutely ridiculous! If these people served their sentence in prison, did their time, paid their debt, then why should they lose their voting rights? I’m sure they are expected to pay taxes if & when they get a job. They have already lost so much.
As usual, Florida can’t do justice
I’m an RSO and I have been voting for years. I also have adjudication withheld, so that may fall into play.
Yes, if you are adjudication withheld you can vote
