Florida Ex-Felon Voting Rights Case Placed in Front of U.S. Supreme Court

On July 8, the Florida voters and voting rights groups who are trying to establish voting rights for ex-felons filed this application with the U.S. Supreme Court. The U.S. District Court had issued an injunction, letting ex-felons who cannot pay court costs, fines, and restitution, to register to vote anyway. Then Florida appealed to all the full-time judges of the Eleventh Circuit, who stayed the decision and set an August hearing date. Now the people who filed the case hope the U.S. Supreme Court will remove the stay.

Florida Ex-Felon Voting Rights Case Placed in Front of U.S. Supreme Court — 8 Comments

  1. I got out of federal prison after doing my nickel, which I could have done standing on my head, walked into the register to vote place and signed up. No problem.

  2. Hey Richard, I’d like to hijack this thread. You know, like the convicted felon I am, thanks to the FBI. Just like the old days at IPR. That ok with you?
    I’d like all my homies at IPR to come here and talk about how the Green party is about to throw the election by nominating a guaranteed losing ticket on Saturday the 11th. Let’s watch them go over the cliff like a bunch of puke green lemmings! You know, just for the LULZ! Fun Times at BAN!
    PLAS failed to gain traction over the years. Couldn’t have anything to do with Uncle Sam not wanting to lose to a bunch of pinkos, would it? My lawyer said, no the government wouldn’t do that. Now just plead guilty because the jury is going to want to convict you of something!
    So come on over here homies. Tom Knapp, New Federalist, paulie, Andy, Egyptian God (Nathan Norman?) Susan Hogarth who was on the conference call with the L Radical Caucus when I got cut off. And Darryl Perry.
    And remember Jeremy Young? He had the nerve to say I was wrong about Wilson and TR could have changed history by Wilson bolting the democratic party and joining the Bull Moose. But which one would head the ticket?
    Jeremy is now a Professor at some college in Utah I think. Come explain how wrong PLAS is, Prof. Jeremy.
    And Prof. Phillies called PLAS “crackpot”. You come too, George!
    And Jill Pyeatt too!
    You get the idea, don’t you Richard? Let’s have some fun watching the Greens go over the cliff in real time! LULZ!

  3. Robert Milnes, different rules for felon voting in different states. And the libertarians are having their national convention this weekend also.

  4. Bob- I have been posting here for a very long time. I still post at IPR but the site is difficult due to some issues with the hosting company or some such. It can take up to 24 hours before a post actually “takes”.

  5. Libertarians? Spike says that ticket will get 15% polling, get into the debates and go on to win the election!
    LULZ!
    Because the lesser of two evils Trump and Biden are so bad, voters will go to the LP ticket by the tens of millions!
    LULZ!
    See? Lots of LULZ! Fun Times at BAN!

  6. Fatal crime defect in 14-2.
