The Florida Supreme Court sided with the state's GOP governor by ruling that certain released felons must pay all fines and fees associated with their convictions before their right to vote is restored
Washington The Florida Supreme Court on Thursday sided with the state's GOP governor by ruling that certain released felons must pay all fines and fees associated with their convictions before their right to vote is restored.
The court's advisory opinion affirmed the language of a 2019 law signed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis that requires some released felons to pay back outstanding financial obligations before their voting rights could be restored. DeSantis signed the law in response to the passage of Amendment 4, a 2018 ballot measure that gave voting rights to former felons in the state.
