No voting if you owe court fines

I know who would benefit, but who do you think would benefit?

 

Didn't they just pass something related to allowing felons to vote? Seems like they wanna go backwards again.

 

It’s a pattern with GOP legislators ignoring the public will and skewing the system to maintain their power. Floridian passed a constitutional amendment to allow felon that has served their time to vote with 64% in support. I read that a large number of them own fines and up to 80% are too poor to pay. The GOP wouldn't allow the will of the people to stand and formulating ways to maintain their power. We've seen this behaviors in other states. This is anti-democratic and it seems some folks are fine with it.

 

That's one of the stupidest things I've heard this morning.

 

Citizens passed a referendum allowing ex felons not in jail, not convicted for murder of felony rape to have their voting rights restored. The state legislators seem to disagree with the people they represent and created this.

 

Here's the text of the referendum:

"This amendment restores the voting rights of Floridians with felony convictions after they complete all terms of their sentence including parole or probation. The amendment would not apply to those convicted of murder or sexual offenses, who would continue to be permanently barred from voting unless the Governor and Cabinet vote to restore their voting rights on a case by case basis."

 

thanks for that.

 

Just wanted to say this is an underrated movie. Enjoyed at as a kid for the boobies, and enjoyed it later for the layers to it.

 

I highly doubt that.

 

I'm not unhinged. You are a troll. It's well documented here. It's hilarious that you created a fake persona on an internet message board. You were literally banned for it and multiple posters called you out.

These are facts

 

Is it fascist to deliberately try to win elections by doing whatever to keep poor and non-white folks from voting? Perhaps, but it certainly is not democratic yet the Repugs have no shame. They are not even trying to use the excuse of "voter fraud". No shame.

 

You know who else is reaching critical mass of no shame?

Bernie Bros.

 

And yet here I am despite it all.

And yet you are the one trolling and being an a-hole.

Isn't it Ironic? Like your wedding day?

 

They had shame from the get go?

 

Maybe not unhinged, but I think a little WD-40 is in order.

 

I'm trolling? You can think I'm an a-hole but I am not a troll. You, on the other hand, are completely fake and the facts speak for themselves as I said.

You can make any excuse you want but nobody believed you nor should they. Seems that you have a problem owning your own issues and instead deflect blame upon others. How anyone could take you seriously is beyond me

 

They were once a peaceful people who simply wanted to feel the Bern.

 

That's cute that you are a fan of my posting. Post what I was responding to as well.

Not even sure why you are a part of this conversation?It's cool, I guess it never hurts to have cheerleaders

 

You've been on quite an angry streak lately -- I hope with the help of some lube you can get things running smoothly again.

 

Just keep those pom-poms waving.

Don't be selective about who you say that to. I might be harsh on occasion but that's my business. If I am over the line then I am sure someone would fill me in . Last I checked you don't moderate this forum so forgive me if I take your "advice" with a grain of salt.

Again, you interjected yourself in this conversation . I didn't quote you. Not only that but you took a post from the NBA dish and didn't use the entire context. Pretty sad
