TE...I haven't researched this at all. Have you or has anyone here? On the surface, it would seem that if a convicted felon lost their right to vote in ABC state....and then it was eventually restored in ABC state.... then the convicted felon moves to any other State, and IF that State has laws against a convicted felon voting AT ANY TIME.... Then why should that State change it's laws...???? Are you saying the State SHOULD change it's laws so that convicted felons should be allowed to vote, after they have served their time????? If so, WHY? Interesting thought....are there 50,000 convicted felons in FL???? Did they just move there??? Since when??? I must have missed that altogether. KLP: felons do not "lose their right to vote...period."--except in Florida and a few other states. But as I have repeatedly said, Florida has no right to refuse to honor civil rights that have been restored by other states. And no, 50000 felons did not just go to Florida to vote. The logic of this speculation utterly escapes me.
