Florida Republicans Suck for Nullifying Felons Right to Vote
Florida Republicans Create A Poll Tax To Keep People From Voting
After a vast majority of Florida voters passed an amendment this past November giving former felons their right to vote back, Florida Republicans went into hyperdrive to prevent these men and women from getting their rights back. They’ve now instituted what amounts to a modern-day poll tax to prevent 1.4 million new voters from going to the polls.
Citizens overwhelming voted for Amendment 4 to restore the right of convicted felons the right to vote. Florida Republicans response was to thwart the “will of the people” by passing SB7066, a poll tax law that restricts Amendment 4, ignoring the will of over 5 million Floridians who voted for Amendment 4 and puts a price tag on the right to vote for hundreds of thousands of people.
Florida Republicans passing a law to thwart the will of the people is another example of how Republicans are Anti-democratic Fascist Banana Republic Authoritarians

Florida AG calls for criminal inquiry into Bloomberg’s $16M felon voter donation
TALLAHASSEE – Florida’s Republican attorney general on Wednesday urged the FBI and state authorities to investigate former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s pledge to spend $16 million helping convicted felons regain their voting rights in the nation’s largest swing state. The attorney general, Ashley Moody, said in a letter to top law enforcement officials that she was asked by Gov.
Seems to me that if Michael Bloomberg wants to help convicted felons restore their right to vote there should be nothing wrong with it. Also seems the REAL reason Florida Republicans want to go after Michael Bloomberg for helping felons restore their right to vote is because it nullifies Republicans efforts to obstruct thousands of people from voting who aren’t likely to vote for THEM.
Republicans don’t believe in Democracy… to them, is about winning and maintaining power at all costs. This is why Putin helped Trump and Republicans get elected in 2016… because Republicans authoritarian policies and tactics aligns well with dictators like Putin.

91-Year-Old Decorated WWII Veteran Targeted By Florida Governor Rick Scott’s Voter Purge
Florida Republicans took voter suppression to brazen extremes. After the 2010 election, Republican Gov. Rick Scott instructed Secretary of State Ken Browning to compile a massive database of alleged “non-citizen” voters. This resulted in a 91-year-old World War II veteran who won a Bronze star being told by the state of Florida to prove he is a citizen or be removed from voter roll.
