BREAKING: Florida court rules current scheme for restoring #votingrights unconstitutional. Disenfranchised citizens w/ felony convictions must "kowtow before a panel of high-level gov't officials over which #Florida's governor has absolute veto authority."https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/02/01/floridas-voter-restoration-process-ruled-unconstitutional/1088913001/ …
2/ Florida court ruling highlights arbitrariness of current scheme. Under Governor Charlie Christ, 154K citizens had their #votingrights restored in a 4 year period. That number plummeted to 3K under Gov Scott who has been in office since 2011.
3/ Court notes the stark racial disparities underlying #Florida's scheme. More than one-tenth of Florida's voting population (1.7M) can't vote b/c they have a felony conviction. And more than 1 in 5 of Florida's African American voting-age population cannot vote b/c of law.
4/ The racist origins underlying felony #disenfranchisement statutes is undeniable. These laws were often championed by white supremacists who wanted to keep Blacks out of the ballot box. It's time to put these laws to rest. @BrentNYThttps://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/19/opinion/the-racist-origins-of-felon-disenfranchisement.html …
