>>>Florida has over 30,000 felons registered to vote, which is in violation of Florida law. The story says Ds outnumber Rs by 2 to 1. I'll bet that is new math. My experience says it's more like 100 to 1. More to follow. . . .

According to the article, about 25,000 of the 30,000 are ex-prisoners. Do you believe someone who was in prison should never be allowed to vote again? I thought the idea was to "repay your debt to society." When you get out isn't the debt supposed to be paid, or do you remain in a different form of prison?
