BREAKING: Supreme Court deals blow to felons in #Florida seeking to regain the right to vote washingtonpost.com/politics/supre…
As the BBC TV reporter who first broke the #Florida faux felon story back in 2000, I can tell you that the Supreme Court’s decision May have just reelected Donald Trump. gregpalast.com/the-great-flor…
The court is requiring voters to pay their old fines and court fees, but I can tell you as an investigator, it’s almost impossible to even find those records. #Florida’s records are a mess, and they (ie. Katherine Harris' GOP successors) like it like that.
As my investigation showed in 2000, #JimCrow is in charge of voting in #Florida, always has been. Fact: 88% of ex-cons vote Democratic, no matter their color or income. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
I can also tell you that a lot of those African-Americans on these so-called ex-con lists, have committed no crime except voting while black. gregpalast.com/the-great-flor…
