I was under the impression that Florida has laws where felons need to have a hearing and have their voting rights given back by the state, and that the governor basically refuses to ever sign off on a felon getting their rights back even when they have a clean record and good job 20 years after getting out.
What state was I thinking of then?
Florida passed a law in 2018 reinstating voting rights for felons that dictated they could register only if they pay all fines, fees and restitution — sometimes totaling more than $1,000 — owed to the government.
Oh derp, it was Florida but it changed. That's pretty good then, although I will say that this seems dangerously close to a poll tax for my liking, but still better than the old system.
