| #6 It may hurt them more than it helps, but it will at least legalize what happened last time and would certainly happen again. It also means that this go around Republicans can't be unfairly bashed for a list Democrats ignored anyway. |

| #3 Fact is according to the Civil Rights commission report the big Democratic Counties ignored the felons list anyway so any felon that wanted to vote was able to. Now they have a push to promote all felons to register ahead of time so more will sneak through the cracks in areas that don't follow the rules. |

| #1 The American Civil Liberties Union sued Florida three years ago, charging it was violating its own law that requires prison officials to inform convicts about the process required to get their rights restored. We certainly can't inhibit law breakers from their right to elect lawmakers. |
