#BREAKING #VICTORY: A federal court rules in favor of restoring voting rights for #Florida citizens with past felony convictions. This is a WIN for our clients & everyone in their situation—HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of Floridians will be affected. More details coming. #JonesvDeSantispic.twitter.com/MjlIV95yBf
This is a watershed moment in election law. For the first time, a federal court ruled that conditioning rights restoration on the payment of costs & fees constitutes a poll tax. #JonesvDeSantis @ACLU @ACLUFL @BrennanCenter @NAACP_LDF @splcenter

But because CLC brought this as a class action, today’s ruling applies broadly to all voters seeking rights restoration in Florida. #JonesvDeSantishttps://www.cnn.com/2020/04/10/politics/amendment-4-florida-felons-voting-rights-class-action-lawsuit/index.html …
Thanks to the tireless work of CLC and its partners, states can no longer deny people access to the ballot box based on unpaid court costs and fees, nor can they condition rights restoration on restitution and fines that a person cannot afford to pay. #JonesvDeSantis
Congratulations! And thank you!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Should've been the end of it when Florida voters chose this. Thanks for taking it up when that wasn't enough!

Thank you! Momentous victory for the people of Florida and our republic. #JonesvDeSantis
It’s also a win for your Constitution. Allowing the state to determine which adults may vote pretty much defeats the whole purpose of voting in the first place.
BRAVO!!!
Does this mean the Florida can’t impose a poll tax now? It’s so much like the GOP to have a poll tax.
Poll taxes are unconstitutional via both the 24th Amendment for federal elections & via Harper v. Virginia Board of Elections (383 U.S. 663 (1966)) for state elections, yes including local elections.
