Speaker 1 (00:00):
In two thousand and eighteen, Florida voters are proved a
state constitutional amendment to restore convicted felons right to vote
once they complete their sentence. Now that wording is important.
The amendment allows felons to have their voting rights restored
once they complete the sentence. Liberals immediately try to pull
a fast one. They claimed that even felons who had

(00:21):
not satisfied the terms of their sentence were included in
the new amendment. For example, if the felon had to
pay fines a restitution to the victims as part of
their sentence but didn't pay, Liberals argued that that didn't matter.
Why because it's racist to demand criminals pay fines a restitution.
It keeps felons from voting because they are poor. So

(00:44):
the Florida state legislature went to work. They passed a
law clearly stating felons had to complete their sentence in full,
including paying fines and restitution is required before their voting
privileges would be restored. The liberals suited them, and last Thursday,
they lost. The Supreme Court ruled that Florida can compel

(01:04):
felons to finish their sentence in full before voting privileges
are restored and the Liberals are outraged. As usual, they
were counting on the criminal vote to put them over
the top in the November elections. Felons are one of
the democrats most important voting blocks. Hillary desperately needed them
to criminals know it, and now they're frozen out, at

(01:24):
least in Florida. Good riddence.
