Florida urges US Supreme Court to keep stay on felon voting

By BOBBY CAINA CALVAN - Associated Press

FILE - In this Thursday, May 14, 2020, file photo, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis speaks at a news conference in Doral, Fla. A federal appellate court has stayed a lower court ruling that gave impoverished Florida felons the right to vote. The order issued Wednesday, July 1, 2020, disappointed voting rights activists and could have national implications in November's presidential election. In May, a federal judge ruled that Florida law can’t stop disenfranchised felons from voting because they can’t pay back any legal fees and restitution they owe. DeSantis immediately appealed to the Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, requesting a stay of the ruling and a review of the case by the full appeals court.

Floyd's attorneys filed documents Wednesday, Feb. 5, 2020, saying they'll ask the U.S. Supreme Court to decide if Floyd's mothers' heavy alcohol use before his birth resulted in personality disorders that prompted him to kill. The last-step appeal came two days after the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco rejected his bid for a new trial.(Nevada Department of Corrections via AP)
