Day 2 of the #JonesvDeSantis trial done. What have we learned so far? A lot! Mostly we've learned that the State of Florida is wedded to defending a system of poll taxes that they don't even know how to implement.
We started with the inspiring testimony of Plaintiff Moreland. Ms. Moreland and people like her are why we are fighting this fight. After #Amendment4 passed, she registered to vote. But later in 2019, she found out she still owes $$ from a yrs old conviction.
Under this new law, these fines and fees would stand in the way of her ability to vote. #polltax And even though @GovRonDeSantis lost in every court so far on this law, she was removed from the rolls earlier this year. While she has been reinstated, so many others are at risk.
Then we heard from @electionsmith who put Ms. Moreland's story in context. She is one of hundreds of thousands of others who would be disenfranchised under this law because they simply cannot pay.
@electionsmith testified that nearly 80% of people who have completed their felony sentences in Florida still owe the state $$. But money should never be a barrier to the ballot box.
