On Sunday, May 24, U.S. District Court Robert Hinkle struck down the Florida law that requires ex-felons to pay court fees and costs before they can register to vote. The order says court fees and costs are taxes, and poll taxes are unconstitutional.
In addition, the order strikes down the requirement that ex-felons pay fines and restitution, if they are unable to pay such fines and restitution. But if they are able to pay their fines and/or restitution, then they must do so.
The decision is 125 pages. Jones v DeSantis, n.d., 4:19cv-300.
Any *fees* and *costs* from Age 0 to 18 connected with educating a mere Citizen in allegedly learning to how to read a ballot ???
SCOTUS awaits.
