You may recall that Florida Republicans circumvented the will of their people, who voted in 2018 to allow ex-felons (except murderers and sex-offenders) to vote once they were released from prison. The Republican legislature and governor found a loophole: those ex-felons also had to pay their court costs and fines in order to be eligible for voting. But Florida has no database or billing structure in place to tell ex-felons what they owe, and finding out may take years of "research." As a result, Florida is sitting on the 58,000 requests they have received from ex-felons for voting rights.
