Firstly, no need to throw about the racist card.

Secondly, he broke the law but, i am sure this wont go the full course.

Except illegal voting is a red button issue, so expect stupidity on the prosecutor's part.

I use the card because of the history of disenfranchising former felons from voting, look at Florida 2000.

Not sure what's being implied here between black people and felons.

Did he vote legally or illegally? That's the issue

Actually it will be the disproportionate punishment that will be the issue, he's facing a third strike 25 years for voting a few months early. And it's Florida so expect stupidity and cruel and unusual punishment on the prosecutor's part.

There is no such law.

A few months early means he voted illegally. He chose to yet again violate the law.

Oh Florida...I think that's over in East Texas. It's one of those blue counties.

It was completely inappropriate to bring in the race card.

And no matter what the law says: IT'S EVEN MORE INAPPROPRIATE TO SENTENCE SOMEONE TO 25 YEARS IN JAIL FOR ILLEGAL VOTING.

What sentence do you think is appropriate for illegally voting should be? How important is the vote, and honest elections??

Hi Ralliann (nice to meet you),

I really don't know what the appropriate punishment should be for illegally voting. I just know that 25 years is incredibly unfair--especially compared to much lesser punishments for what I consider much greater crimes.

As for how important I think honest elections are: EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!!

I, like multitudes of others, believe that our country is in big, big trouble over this issue.

Just on one point: I'm on the side that believes it's nothing but a recipe for fraud to not have to show an ID to vote. Poor people--white, black, and everything in between--have no problem getting an ID when it comes to things like welfare, food stamps, and other government assistance. (If I don't have to show an ID what's to stop me from going out and voting for my brother and all my friends who don't vote.)

I, again like multitudes of others, believe this country is teetering on the brink of disaster over not only this issue, but a host of other issues.

More than anything, my big concern is to be 100% right with God, and to help others to be also.

Given that he had a few months left on parole, a few months would have a semblance of justice.
