I was nolo contendre for ATTEMPTED sexual battery in 2000. (Not true, but that’s irrelevant to this matter). I think a legal challenge could be made that the the constitutional amendment does apply to me, just like it does, I believe, to attempted murder. Anybody have any thoughts or insights?I did receive a notice from the state last year asking me to register to vote, but I assumed then they made a mistake and ignored it.
What if you were adjudicated/ convicted in another state, a state that doesn’t remove the right to vote and moved to Florida; can the state remove that right automatically?
I moved out of Florida during Covid, and like any move transitioning was hard. I visit family there a few times a year and sometimes miss it. Two things have given me peace with the move. One was Ian, I hope everyone faired well. It was bad in some areas in Volusia county I saw. But more relevant and upcoming is I and able to vote. No hoops, no hassles. I’m not trying to brag. I felt like I really missed being able to and now that I’m able it really does make me feel like I belong. Not so much as here where I live but out in the world, living as a “free” person. Hopefully Florida will change eventually.
Does this mean that ex-offender registered citizens could get arrested for paying their taxes, after all, paying taxes and voting go hand-in-hand…no taxation without representation? Without the right to vote a registered citizen has no representation. Therefore, paying taxes is an is an ancillary to voting. Sounds crazy? Not in Florida.
I’ve been saying this for a long time.
So, i am not a convicted felon,( adjudication withheld) and my voting card says my place of voting is at a high school….
Would this be a potential problem ?
Last time it was in a Library on a university…..
Generally that is an exception to the proximity ordinances but you would have to check your county and city.
Notice how that guy twice dodged the question on whether people should go to prison for voting? I didn’t think it was a difficult question, but he apparently thought it was. Sometimes what a person doesn’t say is clearer than if he had shouted something from the rooftops.
