Amendment 4 restored voting rights to more than a million Florida residents with a felony conviction.
However, a new law requires them to pay off back fines and fees before casting a ballot. Now, a federal judge will decide whether paying those costs is unconstitutional. We took a closer look at the issue with:
- Gary Fineout, Politico,
- Danny Rivero, WLRN
- Neil Volz, Florida Rights Restoration Coalition
We also discussed another legal challenge to local bans on conversion therapy in the Sunshine State - with:
- Jon Harris Maurer, Equality Florida
- Sarah Rogers, The Daily Beast
