The Republican Party's war on voters took a hit today. Their attempts to suppress votes among demographic groups who tend to not vote Republican are many and various. This particular one is targeted against convicted felons who have served their jail time but still owe court fees and such.
What kind of party is afraid of voters...? :shrug:
Court Blocks Florida Restrictions on Felons’ Voting Rights
