minus-squaretrevor (he/they)@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoIf felons can’t vote (they should be able to), they sure as shit shouldn’t be able to run for office.
minus-squareunalivejoy@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoIf it makes you feel better, he can’t vote for himself.
minus-squareChris@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoHe is a Floridian though, doesn’t it take a “simple” meeting with DeSantis’s hand picked committee to get his voting rights back?
minus-squarehoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoNope. 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.
minus-squareccunning@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoThis does make me feel better. Thank you.
minus-squarehddsx@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-21 year agoWait, 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
minus-squarerigatti@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoCan he look over Melanie’s shoulder while she votes for him like last time?
