Florida voters gave ex-felons right to vote. Then lawmakers stepped in

Coral Nichols estimates she will have to live to 188 to be able to vote again in her home state of Florida. Having completed her prison sentence for grand theft, Ms. Nichols believed she would have her right to vote restored after 64 percent of Floridians voted in favor of Amendment 4 last November. The amendment ordered automatic vote restoration for some 1.4 million Floridians who can’t vote because of past felonies.
