Florida is not the only state that disenfranchises felons. It occurs in many places and many analysts have said its a form of Jim Crow as is disproportionately affects non whites. I fully support this amendment and hope it passes. One should not be permanently barred from voting just because they've committed a crime. If you've served your time you should be able to vote. It makes no logical sense to bar someone from voted just because they committed a crime.
What's your thoughts NSG?

Well tough cheese on them they should have looked at the consequences of the crime before they did it and they should take it like an adult and just deal with it I say this should be taken to the SCOTUS and have it overturned

voting is a privilege not a right when you commit a crime and are labeled as a felon you lose rights that you once had.

It hasn't even been voted on yet. Why should someone whose served their time be permanently barred from voting?
