Florida Felons Remain Out Of The Voting Booth, Unless They Have $.
“Friday’s ruling will leave thousands of felons off Florida’s voting rolls on Election Day. Sean Morales-Doyle, deputy director of the Voting Rights and Elections Program at the Brennan Center for Justice at the New York University School of Law called it a historic mistake that has people with past convictions from a fundamental right.”
Like so many aspects of American life that come down to who has funds and who doesn’t, poverty chases people and stands in front of the voting booth which functions as a very effective way to prevent some people (the poor) from casting ballots. That makes a lot of people happy.
