State asks court to continue blocking felons from voting

[In It to Win It]

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Warning that allowing plaintiffs to vote would “inflict irreparable harm upon the state,” lawyers for Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration asked a federal appeals court Tuesday to block felons from casting ballots until the court resolves a legal battle.


The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Jan. 28 heard arguments in the state’s appeal of a federal judge’s ruling against part of a 2019 state law that was aimed at carrying out a constitutional amendment restoring voting rights to felons who have competed their sentences.

The law requires felons to pay financial obligations, such as restitution, fees and fines, before they can vote

1. "...restoring voting rights to felons who have competed their sentences."

Wouldn't that make them former-felons?
