On April 25, Florida state officials again asked the Eleventh Circuit to stay the order of the U.S. District Court, that the state prepare objective criteria on how ex-felons may apply for a restoration of their voting rights. The state had also asked for a stay on April 6, and the Eleventh Circuit hasn’t yet responded to that.
The U.S. District Court had ordered the objective standards to be drafted by April 26. The state says that just in case it cannot get relief from this order, the Executive Clemency Board will be meeting on the evening of April 25, presumably to draft objective criteria. But the state urges the court to give it more time.
How many gerrymander oligarch laws are based on *objective criteria* ???
This isn’t an area Gov Scott would even want to show any capacity to follow through on so maybe a former republican elected official with law degree could be a special master for justice sake to write the criteria that would not be a joke.
