"Ex-Felons' Time for Rights has Come." Sun-Sentinel, 29 Mar, 2017, pp. A.14, SIRS Issues
Researcher, ​https://sks.sirs.com​. 

Main Idea: 
Ex-Felons’ Time for Rights Has Come 
Evidence: 
1. The Battle of Ex-Felons rights in Florida is about fairness. 
2. Restoring ex-felons rights should have been done a long time ago in Florida 
3. If Florida eases the restrictions, it would follow a national trend 
Explanation of evidence: 
1. Some people strongly believe that if you commit a felony,then you do your time and you 
pay your debt to society, then you should have a chance to get back on your feet 
without obstacles thrown at you. 
2. Restoring Ex Felons rights should have been done a long time ago because even a couple 
hundred or even thousand votes can make a huge difference for the person running. 
3. If Florida were to give those rights back to felons then the other states would realize 
and also do it.

Paulson, Darryl, and Martin Dyckman. "Fix Florida's Felon Vote." Tampa Bay Times, 01 Jan,
2017, pp. 1, SIRS Issues Researcher,​https://sks.sirs.com​. 

Main Idea: 
Fix Florida’s Felon Vote 
Evidence: 
1. They say that Florida has one of the most rigid and unfair felony disenfranchisement law 
in the nation. 
2. Supporters of the felony disenfranchisement laws argue that it was race neutral and 
applied equally to blacks and whites. 
3. Some argue that although racism may have been part of Florida's distant past, it is no 
longer evident in modern Florida. 
Explanation of evidence: 
1. I think that they believe this because in 2010 more people are disenfranchised in Florida 
than in any other state. 
2. In certain states I do believe that this is the case because they probably only use that 
law in situations that they want to use and abuse their power. 
3. People argue that if racism really isn't part of the “New Florida” then why did the 1965 
Constitution Revision Commission (CRC) not contain any minority members

Berg, Joshua L. "The Case for Re-Enfranchisement." Humanist, 2016, pp. 6, SIRS Issues
Researcher, ​https://sks.sirs.com​. 

Main Idea: 
The Case of Re-Enfranchisement 
Evidence: 
1. There are still many states that disenfranchise felons even after incarceration. 
2. California restores this right post imprisonment, but individuals face considerable time 
before their voting rights are actually restores. 
3. People believe that this injustice is an addition to the voter suppression inflicted upon 
the African American community. 
Explanation of evidence: 
1. Felons from states like Alabama, Arizona, Mississippi and Nevada, lose their voting rights 
permanently. 
2. In California people that are convicted a felony are put in jail for a long time and they 
have to do a lot of time before they are clear of everything and allowed to vote. 
3. The thing that some people really find bad about this is that a lot elections have been 
won or lost depending on thousands of votes.
