BREAKING: The Florida Supreme Court just ruled that people with felony convictions must pay off all fines and fees before they can vote https://www.floridasupremecourt.org/content/download/567884/6414200/file/sc19-1341.pdf …
But, important to note that the court is only requiring the payment of fines and fees "contained in the four corners of the sentencing document.” As @Taniel and I reported last year, many fines and fees aren’t included on those docshttps://theappeal.org/miami-officials-most-people-who-owe-fines-and-fees-can-vote/ …
Carlos Martinez, the elected public defender in Miami-Dade, told us he estimates that financial obligations are not listed on the sentencing documents for 90 percent of people with outstanding fines and fees in the countyhttps://theappeal.org/miami-officials-most-people-who-owe-fines-and-fees-can-vote/ …
As @Taniel notes, this interpretation is up to the individual counties and we’re likely to see a broader interpretation and more disenfranchisement in more conservative counties https://twitter.com/taniel/status/1217873010478153728?s=21 …https://twitter.com/Taniel/status/1217873010478153728 …
Seeing a lot of this. Florida voters say that when they approved Amendment 4 with an overwhelming majority in 2018, they did not intend for a poll tax caveathttps://twitter.com/scottgj/status/1217877709646372865 …
While we’re thinking about the historic victory that was Amendment 4, here’s my deep-dive on the directly-impacted people who made it happenhttps://thinkprogress.org/these-floridians-are-fighting-for-1-4-million-people-to-regain-the-right-to-vote-3a861961fe25/ …
How long will it be before the state GOP-run legislature mandates that they be listed on the sentencing documents?
They should be listed on them anyway.
I understand that perfect is the enemy of good, but why the hell is there a carve out for those convicted of murder or sexual assault from having their voting rights automatically restored?
Because the assumption is that they have completed their debt to society, hence they are out.
Do white people have to pay all their back taxes to the IRS too? #NewJimCrow
A poll tax by any other name smells as rotten
