I didn't know Florida had so many felons, much less felons without voting rights!

Those shades in Virginia are rather dark, but there's been some improvement since 2012, thanks to an effort from our former Governor and current felon Bob McDonnell.

This would not be a problem if the millions of minorities who CAN vote did so.

I think the fact that a person does not have the ability to vote is a problem in itself.  Aside from that I would guess in some places in the South at this point the voter participation among eligible blacks is greater than among eligible whites (at least in the last presidential election).
