You still owe restitution and court fees as a result of your sentence, and have no intention of paying them?
Don't sweat it...you can still vote!

The hilarious part of these stories is NOBODY disputes who felons vote for

If they haven't fulfilled their sentence, apparently not. Just because they are still doing time on paper, it doesn't mean their "time" is served. A parolee hasn't finished their "time" until all sentencing guidelines are met.

Ex Felons should be allowed to vote. This is exactly what Taxation without representation was about. It did not say anything about criminal background.

Ex felons that haven’t paid their dues should not vote until they do. Too sane?

I'm fine with removing voting rights for those who are serving their sentence but I believe that all rights should be restored once you've "paid your debt to society". This should include gun rights, too.

That's the point. They have not fulfilled the requirements of their sentence. Therefore, they are not "ex-felons" yet.

Does that apply to the 2A also?

As many as 1.6 million Florida felons who have completed their prison sentences could regain voting privileges under Amendment 4.

To me, the problem isn't with the felons getting their rights back when they are set free, but that the felons aren't getting the proper sentences for their crimes.

They are still ex-felons, that are off probation, paying off dept like normal Americans. They get out and have no money so they set up payment plans to pay off the court fees.

I had too much cannabis on me at one time. Are you saying I don’t deserve certain rights?

While I agree with you, it is the will of the people in that state.
