The state’s appeal to require payment of court fees before voting access is restored would amount to a poll tax, says Phil Telfeyan.

  1. With all this in mind, then all of those senators and house of rep members, and the executive branch under Bush, that supported the Iraq war, should not be allowed to vote. Legalized homicide.

  2. How ironic that Interstate Crosscheck put an unindicted sex offender into the White House but sex offenders can't vote.

  3. but when you only make it about a race issue your in turn cutting that number of voter suppression by the state in half.. because its not just black n brown thats convicted felons white ppl also are convicts.. if you truly wanted a united front on this you wouldnt bring race into it.

  4. Everyone in a democracy has a right to vote irrespective of their status with the state or their moral qualities.
    If there is to be a division of voter rights then any landholders, lobbyists, religious and corporate leaders or others of out-sized influence should be the first to lose the right to vote since they ALREADY HAVE INFLUENCE.

  5. Our election officials are hand picked, not voted into office. I know, hard to believe right? Maybe so but, it's true. Voting in America is rigged so, please stop wasting your time, you'll should know this by now.

  6. Just the idea of the look on the faces of Cadet BS, Moscow Mitch, Lennongrad Lindsey, etc… ad nauseam, upon the losses to come? Priceless. Just knowing that each loss is a direct result of their hate and division is frosting. Thank you for something that can possibly be of some help to us and the world. Peace,

  7. imo
    I was very excited to move to Florida.
    18 months later, I hated it.
    Simply the worst people of any of the 14 places I've lived in.
    So, yeah, reinstating a poll tax sounds like typical Florida to me.
    imo

  8. Many people who have been through the system and know the bullshit its based on have no urge to vote. Government puts a taste in their mouth so foul they rather cut out their tongue than have anything to do with it again.

  9. I don’t understand why after people pay there debts to society. They still have a black cloud hanging over there head as of being a felon. I feel once you do your time for the crime you committed you should have all your rights restored. That being said you should have your voting rights back a right to bare arms, and practice law, and medicine. We are the only country in the world that still hold people accountable even after surviving there time for the crime they committed! The Felon is the new N-word!

  10. Why would anybody vote when it's a selection not an election…. ????? They're going to put the best person in office to follow their agenda!

  11. A WS system trying to protect itself.
    Republican Party not happy with reinstating voter rights to those that have served out their time.
    That tells me that they support
    a racist system or following marching orders from those that
    move in the shadows, the UNGODLY.

  12. They probably figures a majority of Ex-cons won't vote Republican because Republicans pass harsh legislation that puts them behind bars for minor offenses. So next best thing make it to expensive for a felon who can no longer get a good paying job to vote. But Republicans don't really believe in recidivism just locking you up for a profit.

  13. There's no such thing as ex felons Seeings once a felon you are a felon for life. And you will be judge as so the rest ur life. And as a felon ur sentence never truly ends. You have rights until the government decides you don't
