A federal judge in Florida has struck down a law requiring people with felony convictions to pay court fines and fees before they can register to vote. U.S. District Court Judge Robert Hinkle said the law amounted to an unconstitutional poll tax. Republicans passed the law after Floridians approved a ballot measure in 2018 restoring voting rights for people with felony convictions.
