willcousa: OK, here goes: In June, 1998, Florida's Court of Appeal ruled unanimously in Schlenther v. Florida Dept of State that Florida could not require require a man convicted in Connecticut 25 years ealier to "ask Florida to restore his civil rights. They were never lost here." Conn., like most states, automatically resores felons civil rights at the end of their sentences, and therefore "he arrived as any other citizen, with full rights of citizenship." The courts relied on both Florida statute and the "full faith and credit" clause of the US Consitution which requires every state to accept the legal rulings of other states. If that doesn't satisfy your curiosity, I suggest you pursue the case on your own.
