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.

We fought for: Bonnie: http://bit.ly/3cHOC5F Diane: http://bit.ly/2VSs0Zv Lee: http://bit.ly/3eNfrXZ But because CLC brought this as a class action, today’s ruling applies broadly to all voters seeking rights restoration in Florida.

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
