SCOTUS allows Florida's pay-to-vote scheme, which disenfranchises thousands of ex-felons, to take effect. This likely means thousands of Floridians will be unable to vote in the 2020 election due to lack of money. Sotomayor, Ginsburg, and Kagan dissent. I'll have a link soon.

Here is a link to the order, including Sotomayor's dissent, which is fire. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/19pdf/19a1071_lkgn.pdf

A key fact of this case which is too often ignored: Florida *does not know how much court debt ex-felons owe.* And it has no intention of figuring it out. The state has forced ex-felons to pay up—then refused to tell them how much they must pay. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/05/florida-amendment-4-fines-fees-unconstitutional-ruling.html

The U.S. Supreme Court no longer believes in the right to vote. It is not just condoning but actively facilitated the most brazen acts of voter suppression in modern history. The bedrock of American democracy is in grave peril. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/07/supreme-court-florida-felons-poll-tax.html @Slate
