Florida’s quest for voting rights has been a rollercoaster, mixing moments of hope with harsh realities.
In 2018, voters celebrated Amendment 4, aiming to restore voting rights for 1.4 million citizens with felony convictions. However, the joy was short-lived as SB 7066 introduced a “pay-to-vote” hurdle, demanding full payment of legal obligations before restoration. Legal challenges followed, with the system declared unconstitutional but later reversed. As of 2023, the problematic system persists, keeping returning citizens disenfranchised due to financial barriers.
