    Florida has voted to allow felons to regain their voting rights, a decision that affects about 1.5 million people. Dozens of states were deciding ballot measures on Medicaid expansion, minimum wage, marijuana legalization and more. #Election2018http://apne.ws/NSpEeSP

        What's horrible about restoring voting rights to people who have no reason not to have them?

        Well you see, I'm not. But even criminals have paid their debt to society. That's what incarceration is. Not allowing to vote is a kind of lifelong sentence that reverberates long after they have paid their debt. It's sad that I have to explain this to you but 🤷‍♂️

        You don't have to explain anything to me. You choose to ignore my original point. They already COULD get their rights back. Was it easy? It was part of the process/punishment.

        Felons lose their right to vote for life. Unless your in FL who for some reason decided to give 1.5 millions felons their voting rights back. That's 1.5 million democrat voters

        Only if you don't want American Citizens to have their constitutional right to vote.
