Big victory for voting rights: Federal court blocks Florida Republicans' modern-day poll tax

9. Actually, that's not clear. Not legally.

If the amendment stated clearly that all fines and restitution must be paid it would be a legal part of Florida constitutional law. I personally agree that wealth should never be a factor in voting. Personally I think using felony conviction as a reason to bar voting is implicitly unconstitutional. Because they have always been implemented to restrict the voting pool. But courts have ruled differently.

And if those were not totally arbitrary then it might stick in the courts.

But since none of that is true and fines and administrative cost are arbitrary it becomes a poll tax.
