Some here will advocate for her voting right to be restored after she’s “paid her debt to society.”

I'm sorry, I not only misread your comment but also misspoke.

I'm one of those deplorables who also agrees that once you have paid your debt to society, your voting rights should be restored...........

Also, everything in the Bill of Rights.

Because those are Rights you have because you are alive.

The only people who have them permanently revoked are the dead.

And I don’t care a whit for the “law” in Florida. If it is as described, it is wrong.

To some, myself included, the loss of voting rights survives the expiration of the incarceration, and in fact that is the law in Florida. In other words, the permanent loss of the right to vote is part of the so-called “debt to society.”
