Judge Walker also noted the case of Steven Warner, who admitted to the Florida panel that he had voted illegally in the 2010 election. When the governor asked about it, Warner replied, "actually, I voted for you."

This isn't just a FL thing. It's happened in other states where the prison population of those who would get their rights back are heavily minority or immigrant populated. In a land that swears once you serve your time, you should get your second chance to do right, that do right doesn't apply to the voting booth.

I understand that some felons shld not have the right to vote, depending on the felony. But people who get felonies for stupid shit like a joint shld be able to vote and have all of their rights restored.
