Only Florida, Kentucky, Virginia, and Iowa permanently bar those with felony convictions from voting for life, unless they seek clemency.
This November, Florida voters can change that. They'll vote on a Constitional Amendment that would restore voting rights to non-violent felons.
Why is this important.
Well, note that the blog to which I linked above is a liberal blog - ThinkProgress. And notice these lines:
"...If approved with 60 percent of the vote in November, the amendment has the potential to reshape electoral politics in Florida, a critical swing state..."
"While research shows that people with criminal convictions tend to vote for Democratic candidates, the amendment in Florida has had bipartisan support. An analysis released shortly before the 2016 election found that if Floridians with felony convictions were allowed to register to vote, an estimated 258,060 would register as Democrats, 46,920 as Republicans, and 84,456 as independent and third party."
Wow, THAT'S telegraphing your intent. It would be nice to think that left-leaning groups are funding this effort for the good of democracy, but the truth is, Democrats think they'd benefit.
That's not something of which to proud, is it???? "When criminals vote...Democrats win!"
