The case could have deep ramifications in the crucial electoral battleground given that Florida has an estimated 774,000 disenfranchised felons who are barred because of financial obligations. Many of those felons are African Americans and presumably Democrats, though it's unclear how that group of Floridians overall would lean politically in an election and how many would vote.
A further complication is determining the exact amount in fines and other kinds of legal fees owed by felons seeking the vote — by some estimates it would take elections officials several years for those pending now. Hinkle said it's unconstitutional to bar any voter whose amount owed could not be “determined with diligence."
Hinkle said the requirement to pay fines and restitution as ordered in a sentence is constitutional for those “who are able to pay” — if the amount can be determined.
If they live in America let them vote !!
No matter, they must pay
the correct ruling
Is it only me or do others believe that Florida’s GOP is a fascist organization?
Finally!
Unconstitutional
Conservatives over 200 years of oppression and disenfranchisement
Seems fair. Maybe a reasonable community service stint would be better.
Excellent! Now restore their voting rights like us voters voted on overwhelmingly to give them back! The DeSantis administration has tried every trick in the book to avoid doing the WILL OF THE PEOPLE! This ruling is ONE step in the right direction!
Trump is about to shxt his depends
And tax payers should also foot the bill for gender reassignment surgery for a pedophile. Hmmm... Seems we are sending a message it pays to be a criminal... Free housing, food, clothes, elective surgery.... You can still vote.. watch TV... Play basketball or cards..
世道真是让人感到悲凉！

Take that you warped governor. DeSantis has his head so far up Trump's butt it is disgraceful. He won't stand up for innocent Floridians. He will allow Trump to make cruel accusations using deceased citizens. It's time for DeSantis to be removed. He is a disgrace to Floridians. I really gat abad feeling abt this

Stars and Scars -- You Be the JudgeDonald Trump is not a doctor, but he's clearly trying to play one on TV, muzzling and firing doctors who disagree with him and self-prescribing dangerous, unproven drugs. So we gotta ask ... Because it's still happening like in her movie child support reform Biden tells black people they ain’t black if they refuse to vote for him and you guys refuse to cover it? I’m done with TMZ. Ridiculous group of Aholes parading as gossip journalists. Is Biden paying you guys like the Kardashians? Where's Joe bidens face... he is top news right now?
