The Latest Edition Of "The Crap Rightist Wingnuts Pull In Destroying Our Rights"

Eight years later: What a surprise; The Florida GOP still can't get the restoration of felon voting rights straightened out. (Yeah, yeah; I know it's ex-felons but mainstreaming them back into society as quickly and fully as possible happens to be an anti-crime measure; it's for our good.)

Fox Bidness Journal:
Republican Gov. Charlie Crist went against his party a year ago and made it easier for felons to regain their voting rights. The process has been slow, however -- stirring controversy in a state expected to be closely fought in this fall's elections.

Florida's clemency board has restored voting rights to nearly 75,000 residents. But nearly 96,000 requests are pending, according to information through March 20. Activists say there might be an additional 400,000 people who have been rejected without explanation, making it impossible for them to be reinstated.
Hey, Johnny Mac; Have any straight talk about this?? Where's the leadership??
