    If felons can’t vote (they should be able to), they sure as shit shouldn’t be able to run for office.

        He is a Floridian though, doesn’t it take a “simple” meeting with DeSantis’s hand picked committee to get his voting rights back?

          Nope. 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.

        Wait, why not?

        Edit: Oh, right. This isn’t the Honorable Judge Cannon. These are state felonies presided by a judge who understands the government functions
