    I think there's an interesting discussion to be had about this, but if they do have the right, then I think the law, ie the government, has to be able to tell them with certainty what the requirements are. Because the government shouldn't be able to tease you about your rights.
    Assuming the article is correct. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/amendment-4-florida-felony-voting-rights-60-minutes-2020-09-27/?ftag=CNM-00-10aab7d&linkId=100596852&utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark
    "The new law mandates that felons certify they're good to vote, in other words: that they've paid up. Lying on the form, well, in Florida that's a felony. But here's the rub, a lot of these felons can't find out how much they owe in fees, fines, and restitution."
    "There is no way of tracking who paid what for the last 40 years."
