She had served her debt to society. It’s interesting how you attack when reading skills. That’s a long tried white supremacist reason for literacy tests.
It’s not. It’s following basic rules. There are 2 types of felons not allowed to vote in Florida. Sexual and Murder. Clearly states this. Lack of reading skills is not by race but by poverty.
Libraries and community volunteers are leading the effort to bring reading, writing, and math skills to the one-fourth of Black adults who are considered low literacy. by Maya Pottiger March 10, 2022 While at the library making copies one day in 2018, Gregory Hill looked up and saw a sign...

“Up-to-date adult literacy data, especially broken down into race and ethnicity demographics, is hard to come by. A
2019 report from the National Center for Education Statistics, which cited data from 2012 and 2014, found that 23% of Black adults in the country were considered to be low literacy, compared to 35% of white adults and 34% of Hispanic adults.”
It seems like more white adults are considered “low literacy” than black adults.
Thriller trying to play the race card.
So congrats on repeating Jim Crow reasoning for excluding POC from the ballot. Why continue to punish someone after they’ve paid their debt to society for 20 yrs?
Only 2 type of felons… Murder and Sexual. Once again you didn’t say anything about gun rights for these felons. I mean, if they paid their debt to society for 20 years, they should have the 2A right back. Or do you want to restrict rights that you don’t like.
You realize that we’re one of the only industrialized countries in the world that does this sort of thing, right?
I don’t live in the other Countries. They have different cultures and history than the USA. So why would it matter if Luxembourg has laws that differ from the USA. We are not the same country.
Had you read the entire article, you’d know that this is a systemic problem. There’s a systematic problem created by Florida Republicans to prevent former felons (who they know are majority POC) from voting.
There it is, the race card again. Former felons who are murderers and sexual predators.
Let’s see:
Three out of four rapes are committed by someone known to the victim.

57% are white. 27% are black. Doesn’t work for sexual predators
Murders yep… 51% to 46% not by much
So no, it doesn’t effect black or brown persons more.
This clearly wasn’t what voters wanted when they voted clearly to restore voting rights to ex-felons.
Why do you say this? Where can you provide the data for this statement? They voted on this:
“Amendment 4 was designed to automatically restore the right to vote for people with prior felony convictions, except those convicted of murder or a felony sexual offense, upon completion of their sentences, including prison, parole, and probation.”
That’s exactly what they voted on.
I guess you want to continue to punish people after they’ve paid their debt to society but the voters of Florida don’t. Sadly, their Republican legislature and governor do, because racism and tribalism supersede any concern for human rights in the fascist party of Trump.
Again with the race card. No facts, just race card. Also “Trump”. Because everything you don’t like is because of Race or Trump. Just sad.
