Florida
Permanent disenfranchisement for at least some people with criminal convictions unless government approves restoration

Permanent disenfranchisement for at least some people with criminal convictions unless government approves restoration.

People with most felony convictions have their voting rights restored automatically upon completion of sentence, including prison, parole, and probation and payment of all fines, fees, court costs, and restitution ordered by the court at the time of sentencing. People convicted of certain murder or felony sexual offenses are permanently barred from voting unless granted clemency. More information about Florida’s rights restoration process can be accessed here.

Trump is a sewer-dweller and this country deserves a good FLUSHING.
