The Florida House approved legislation along party lines Wednesday to restore voting rights to people with felony convictions, which opponents say is a blow to the state’s effort to enfranchise more than a million people.
But the Republican-dominated House voted 71-45 Wednesday for a bill that critics say sets up unnecessary hurdles for people who completed their felony sentence, requiring them to pay all their criminal fines and fees before they can get their voting rights restored.
