>>In 2018, voters in Florida passed an amendment to the state constitution that restored voting rights to felons who had served their time. The Republican-controlled state legislature wasted no time passing a law that required that all fines and fees related to the sentence must all be paid before the person could vote. However, there is no agency in Florida that tracks those, and most of those people have no way of knowing exactly what they owe. So even if that provision were what the voters wanted, most of the people affected can't fulfill that requirement.

That's what I've been calling it from day one. The courts have upheld it so far. Not sure whether all the cases have reached their endpoints. I would also think that the inability to find out exactly how much one owes would mean the law couldn't be enforced, but so far, it has been.
