The legal fight over restoring the voting rights of felons in Florida continues. Moving quickly on the issue, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has tentatively scheduled oral arguments for July in Atlanta after U.S. District Judge Mark Walker said Florida’s process for restoring the voting rights of felons who have served their sentences was unconstitutional. Walker had ordered Scott and the Cabinet to revamp the process by April 26th, but state officials won a partial victory April 25th when a panel of the federal appeals court granted a stay of the order.
