All kinds of states are taking up felony disenfranchisement reform too. Will have to see how that goes.

That's good. Florida actually started a positive precedent, for once. Wait...did I just say something positive about Florida? Hey, look, pigs are flying! Awesome! I love pigs!

Not really.

Florida, Virginia, and Iowa were the only states where a convicted felon was not re-enfranchised after completing their sentence. They were just catching up to the rest of the country.

They could have either past an amendment creating a bona fide independent redistricting Commission like Iowa.

Iowa does not have redistricting commission.

Some good news out of a Republican state. Iowa now will automatically restore ex-felons voting rights once they have completed what they need to.

Iowa is catching up with Florida and Virginia.
