>>>>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. . . .

>>>I have to admit I'm a bit amazed that any state has a law that says a citizen can't vote. 10 states have this sort of law - astonishing.

>>I doubt the felons are regular citizens :-)
>>Here their citizen rights (I don't know if that is the rights term) are canceled during the sentence. They have no right to vote.

>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?

No.
After they go out from the prison they should have the full rights (if the court didn't say the opposite)
But "Felon" for me is a guy who is in prison :-)
If it is not there who knows if that guy is a felon or not?
After he/she leave the prison they becomes regular citizens, isn't it?
