Mr. Sher,

In the above article you wrote, I read the following:

“Proponents say restoring voting rights can provide a sense of pride for ex-offenders re-entering society, helping them remain rooted. They say a rights restoration law in Florida is associated with a 12.8 percent reduction in recidivism.”

I’m really curious as to the source of the claim. Since the voting rights restoration law in Florida (known as Amendment 4) just went into effect about 6 weeks ago, it seems unlikely that it would have any effect on recidivism so soon. A specific figure like 12.8 strikes me as fabricated. Further, what exactly is the “association” between the aforementioned law and the recidivism rate? In other words, are these just empty or fabricated claims?

Looking forward to your response.”

Our whole community needs to start calling journalists to task as well as politicians. If inflammatory articles like this don’t allow for comments, email the reporters that wrote them, or their editors. The 4th branch of government needs to hear that not all of their readers are registry nazis.

Taxation without representation was cause for starting the revolutionary war
