Well at least the Governor can’t be blamed for not trying.
He did in fact grow up very poor in subsidized housing.
Not sure why the Caucus folks would be offended by that.

Isn’t having a “Black Caucus” racism at it’s core?

I am concerned and tired of African American Leaders using bullying tactics to force others to do their will. Convicted Felons are looked at on a case by case basis now as far as having their civil rights restored. Do they want a blanket restoration? I am also tired of Knock Out supposed games that can severely injur or kill people being called harassment or attempted robbery instead of a hate crime because it’s black on while crime. Yet the one white man who decided to try it was charged with a hate crime. Any crime is based in hate. Hate Crimes should be done away with. It someone is murdered the perp should be charged with murder. If someone assaults someone they should be charged with assault. Our leadership has lost their minds. What is happening to America?

Why would felon rights and the stopping the removal of non-citizens from the voter rolls be priorities of the Black Caucus?

@ H in Cantonment

Agree with you.
I fail to understand how it is objectionable to show my ID to vote.
I consider that similar to being asked for my ID when using my credit card and am pleased that someone wants to make sure I am who I say I am.

Florida has become a laughing stock for our misguided and messed up election system and that is embarrassing to all of us.

If you are a citizen and if you have your Constitutional rights then you should be allowed to vote. Why would it be otherwise?

Special interest groups always seem to have their agenda and if that is not bowed down to then it becomes big news.

Show your ID and vote and it should be the law, no ID no vote….period.

I agree with M. illlegals, felons and DEAD people should not be allowed to vote. I also agree that all on welfare should have to pass a drug test and be tested at least every 6 months. I have to pass drug test in order to earn the money they receive while doing nothing.
