Just more obvious GOP actions of blatant minority disenfranchisement. They are doing this in spite of an actual ballot initiative that was passed with a 64% majority....
Late on Friday evening, just before a legislative deadline, Florida's Republican governor signed a controversial bill that will prevent hundreds of thousands of people who have served time in prison from voting. The legislation directly conflicts with Amendment 4, a ballot measure Florida voters overwhelming approved last November that returned voting rights to Florida citizens who had been convicted of felonies and finished serving their sentences.
Just more obvious GOP actions of blatant minority disenfranchisement. They are doing this in spite of an actual ballot initiative that was passed with a 64% majority.
This has always been how the GOP have attempted to maintain their political power despite being a minority of citizens. They suppress votes through voter ID laws, disenfranchise as many as they can (particularly minorities), and gerrymander their districts to hell to pack D voters and manipulate outcome in their favor.
This is only going to get worse with the recent SCOTUS decision saying the courts are not allowed to rule against partisan gerrymanders.

At the Federal level the GOP has been attempting this by adding a citizenship question to the Census to suppress responses from immigrants.
It is just straight power grabbing on behalf of the GOP to maintain their grip on power and prop up white supremacy in this country.
