Like FloriDUH, TN has done similar in disenfranchising their people who have felony convictions from voting: While many states have made it easier for people convicted of felonies to vote, Tennessee has gone in the other direction (https://www.propublica.org/article/tennessee-black-voters-disenfranchised?utm_source=pocket-newtab)

There is a cultural slant to the article, but the overall point is blocking people to vote post-conviction.

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.

In reply to JJJJ.

@ JJJJ:

The reason they don’t want registrants to vote is because the ones that propose and pass all their stupid registry laws would not get another term. The overwhelming majority of the Florida Congress (or Assembly, or whatever) would be turned over every election.

Eventually, there will be enough friends and family members of registrants to make that happen, considering the rate ot which Florida and some of its more incompetent officials (re: Lauren Book, Grady Judd, et. al.) keep senselessly adding to 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?

In reply to Manny F. you got the concealed permit? i had one before my charge and i wanted one again but thought it impossible. I had adjudication withheld and would like to apply for it. Did you do it through the state or did you go through a class/gun store?

In reply to Rick. Generally that is an exception to the proximity ordinances but you would have to check your county and city.
