Restoring felon voting rights a ‘mess’ in battleground FL

Clifford Tyson wants to help choose America’s next president. But the Florida resident fears his vote might return him to jail. Tyson, 63, owes court-ordered fines and fees for three felony convictions, one for robbery, two for theft, all decades old. Under a Florida law that went into effect July 1, he must pay those penalties before casting a ballot or risk being prosecuted for voter fraud. Linda So, Reuters.
