    1. prohib­it­ing return­ing citizens from voting unless they pay off certain legal finan­cial oblig­a­tions (LFOs) imposed by a court pursu­ant to a felony convic­tion.

      I think in cases where individuals are released from doing a sentence that they should be able to vote just like everyone else since they do in fact have their freedom. There are different laws for different states and it's not the same everywhere but for the states that is in effective in I think it's something to think about.

    1. On September 11, 2020, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the state of Florida can require former felons to pay all fines and fees before regaining the right to vote

      I feel like there should be another or lighter punishment to give these felons when they are released from prison. They've done their time for the crime they did and I feel like if your free then you should be free. This includes voting and being able to have your own input and say so just like everyone else who is free. Voting is for everyone and I don't think there should be stipulations on who can't as long as they are a citizen.
