minus-squareccunning@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoThis does make me feel better. Thank you.
minus-squareChocrates@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoHe is a Floridian though, doesn’t it take a “simple” meeting with DeSantis’s hand picked committee to get his voting rights back?
minus-squarehoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoNope. I’m not sure which law states that a convicted felon can’t vote, but I know for sure it takes quite a few years to change such foundational laws and this will not happen quickly enough. It can happen for the election after Biden v Trump tho.
