Florida Felons Can't Vote Afterall

[xuenchen]

Looks like the Supreme Court has allowed a lower court ruling to stand.

Another lower court previously allowed felons to register and vote, but that was halted by a different court.

Now the SCOTUS says felons can't vote !!

Well how about somebody making sure they don't vote anyway especially in some of those Florida Counties that have long histories of fraud and convenient mistakes.

Naturally the "Liberal" Justices dissented (shocking).

So if Felons do vote fraudulently, they commit another Felony anyway !! 

The U.S. Supreme Court declined on Thursday to overturn a federal appeals court’s decision that blocked some Florida felons’ eligibility to participate in elections — a major blow to efforts to restore voting rights to as many as 1.4 million people in the battleground state.

The decision lets stand a temporary halt by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit of a judge’s order that had cleared the way for hundreds of thousands of felons in the state to register to vote.

In early July, the Campaign Legal Center in Washington petitioned the high court to lift the stay, arguing that the appeals court decision had “thrown the election rules into chaos.”

But on Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court denied that request. Three liberal justices noted their dissent, with Justice Sonia Sotomayor writing that the court’s decision “prevents thousands of otherwise eligible voters from participating in Florida’s primary election simply because they are poor.”
