    FL Supreme Court Agrees to Hear Oral Arguments in Case to Restore Ex-Felon Voting Rights
    Renata Sago
    The Florida Supreme Court has granted a request to hear oral arguments in a case that could restore voting rights to more than 1.5 million ex-felons statewide. The decision to hear oral arguments for the proposed amendment comes less than three months after a coalition of pastors, attorneys, and advocacy groups submitted the required 68,314 signatures to trigger a review of current state law.
