Felons in Florida Regain the Right to Vote
Summary from the AllSides News Team
Felons in Florida regained the right to vote on Tuesday after an amendment passed in the November midterms which restored voting rights to 1.4 million people, exempting those convicted of sexual offenses or murder. Some have celebrated the move as a victory for fairness and re-enfranchisement, while others say that the law requires clarification, prompting potential lawsuits in the near future.
