When Florida changed it’s law to allow ex-felons to vote, I remember reading that the legislature put as many roadblocks as they could. Felons must complete all sentences, fines, and restitution before they can vote.

So any sentence or sanction that can’t be fulfilled by November should exclude him from Florida’s rolls, right?

    Depends whether the courts get moving soon. He’s technically not a felon yet, despite being found guilty. He is officially a felon when sentencing is over, which hasn’t happened yet.

    Until then, here are some suggested titles we can use for him:
    Felon elect
    Presumptive felon nominee
    Felony frontrunner

      Felony Frontrunner’s a good one, for sure. Fits right in with Genocide Joe and Killmonger Kamala.

      It’s a bummer that this is the best we can do in such a diverse and advanced country.
