Opinion | Racist voter suppression tactics are making a comeback in the 2020. And Florida shows just how bad it could get. By Ash_Prashar

, the fight to have the voices of the people heard is one of the biggest stories in an election year full of big stories. But perhaps the best example of this fight comes from Florida.The act of denying formerly incarcerated persons the right to vote is rooted in racist practice. As the presidential election nears this practice is once again raising its ugly head in Florida, led by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Florida was one of three states to ban all formerly incarcerated people from voting. Mississippi and Virginia were the other two until they loosened some of those restrictions. But with Florida, history plays a big role. Following the Civil War, the state adopted laws that effectively "felonized" convictions of former slaves for And so it was until 2018 when a progressive attempt was made to rectify this discriminatory practice.

Ash_Prashar No one is denying them the right to vote. If they pay their fines, they can vote. This isn't a black/ white issue.
