In the leadup to the midterm elections Governor Ron DeSantis announced that the state of Florida's new Office of Election Crimes and Security had arrested 20 people who allegedly had knowingly registered to vote illegally during the previous election in 2020. He said this was the first step in addressing wide-scale voter fraud — despite there being no evidence of such fraud in Florida. The problem is, there is no straightforward way for former felons — or for election officials — to determine whether someone who has completed their sentence for a felony conviction has satisfied all requirements to be eligible to vote.

LB 158, recently placed on the Nebraska Legislature's General File, would restore voter rights to people immediately after they complete the terms of their felony sentences. Proponents say the measure will reduce recidivism, and end the current practice that disenfranchises Nebraskans during a two-year waiting period.

Federal agents raided rapper Lil Wayne's plane at Miami Opa Locka Airport, finding a gold-plated gun and some ammo, according to TMZ. Born Dwayne Carter, the popular performer now faces 10 years in prison because of a 2009 felony conviction, which meant he lost his 2nd Amendment protections forever. We used to say that a court sentence was how a man pays his debt to society. Now, a man can never pay that debt. The land of second chances...no more?

With 41 days until Election Day, voters across the country are already casting their ballots. But in Florida, thousands of former felons can’t even register to vote. The problem? They’ve served their time, but they haven’t paid the court fees, fines and restitution – and that’s considered part of their sentence. In 2018, Florida voters approved Amendment 4, a ballot measure that would allow those with felony convictions to register to vote, so long as the crime committed was not murder or sexual abuse. The new law made as many as 1.4 million Floridians with felony records eligible to register. But in 2019, the Governor of Florida signed a bill limiting those rights until felons have completed all the terms of their sentences, including the payment of court debts. Many are simply too poor to pay those debts or, because there is no central database of court fines and fees, it is impossible to know exactly what they owe. A federal appeals court has upheld the law, and now, the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition is leading the rush to raise money to pay off as many debts as possible before October 5, the voter registration deadline in Florida. For more than a decade, Desmond Meade cycled in and out of the criminal justice system, mostly on felony drug charges. Now, Meade is the president of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition. In this episode, he discusses the personal struggles that led him to fight for voting rights, the work it took to get Amendment 4 passed, and the current fight to help people pay their fines so they can finally vote.

President Trump Deflects Attention from Racial Justice Demonstrations by Invoking Far Left Groups  President Trump has pushed the inaccurate message that far left activists are leading demonstrations around the country to distract from the real issues behind the uprisings. How QAnon Conspiracy Theorists Are Influencing U.S. Politics On May 19th, Jo Rae Perkins, an avowed supporter of the far-right QAnon conspiracy theory, won the Republican primary race for U.S. Senate in Oregon, with nearly 50 percent of the vote.  Former Felons in Florida May Finally Have Their Voting Rights Restored A recent ruling by a federal judge declared a Florida law restricting former felons from registering unconstitutional. After Nearly Three Decades, a Florida Man's Voting Rights Will Be Restored Eugene Williams was released from prison in 2011 after serving 18 years in Florida’s Department of Corrections for armed robbery. What Does White Allyship Look Like at this Moment? As uprisings spread across the U.S, white people are trying to figure out their role in the fight against police brutality and racism more broadly.

When you have did the crime and paid the time and change your entire life society still have many to continue serving perpetual life sentences when access to opportunities are denied. Brian Hamilton the founder of Inmates to Entrepreneurs gives us insights of things we need to take in to account our perceptions about others. "Scott, who served time in prison years ago, is now a highly successful entrepreneur. Like many other entrepreneurs, he has worked very hard to start a new life, and his business has been significantly impacted by the new coronavirus crisis. But the application for the SBA loans meant to keep small business owners afloat discriminate against previous felons." This is not new behavior it just has been exposed publicly for all of us to experience and become self-aware to ask the question " Would I want to be denied access when I have already paid the cost?" Second chances matter regardless of your race, creed, religion - it is called being HUMAN. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/passion2profits/message
