1 million+ former felons in Florida can now vote. In news of immense importance to the political landscape of the US, nearly 1.4 million felons who have served their sentences will be able to vote. A proposition in the 2018 election overturned a long-standing law which (unconstitutionally) permanently stripped the right to vote from any felons. Given the demographics of this population and the razor thin election results in Florida, this could have a profound impact on the election outcomes both within state and federal elections. [cnn.com]
