Today, the right to vote was restored to 1.4 million Floridians - including 1 in 5 African Americans! We are proud to have supported Amendment 4 and to see civil rights in action! Great job Florida! #YesOn4
As of now, Amendment 4, giving nonviolent felons their right to vote back after fulfilling the terms of their sentences, looks like it is going to pass. @CBS12
2.2 million votes have now been counted in FL(!). The Senate & governor's races are roughly tied; #Amendment4 (rights restoration) has about 64%.
It's getting the wide cross-partisan support it needs, and is on the cusp. But still too early to know if it'll get to 60% threshold.
Early votes are entirely counted in Hillsborough County, home to Tampa. (346,000 votes)
Senate
Nelson: 55.09%
Scott: 44.61%
Governor
Gillum: 54.94%
DeSantis: 43.77%
One of the key issues on election night in Florida is Amendment 4, which would restore voting rights for Floridians with felony convictions (not murder or sexual offenses). Please watch my friend @IamShannonGreen’s amazing short doc on this issue https://t.co/TEkVf7NuGr
If you're a Black person living in Florida there's a good chance - one in five - that you can't vote because of Florida's unfair voting rules. Change that by voting YES on Amendment 4.
REMEMBER: if you are standing in line to vote, stay in line.
As long as you stay in line, you have a right to vote.

It does not matter whether someone is democrat or republican, they still deserve the right to vote. People make mistakes &!we all deserve chances. How can we expect someone to be a success in our community if the community locks away the tools to do so. #YesOn4@YesTo2ndChances
If u’re an undecided Florida voter -which I don’t understand, but whatever- reposting piece I wrote about why I decided to support @AndrewGillum. It’s ok to have a different opinion than your spouse. It’s ok to put country over Party. Please vote! https://t.co/IbWft8LskN
Chrystina Smith is voting #YesOn4 in Miramar #Amendment4@WLRN - She says hopefully she will wake up tomorrow and her brother, who has a felony, will have his voting rights restored: "A lot of people do change, and if you give them a chance, you’ll probably be able to see it."
Over 1 MILLION Floridians who were formerly incarcerated are shut out of voting even though they live, work and raise their families in our neighborhoods. Say yes to a second chance. Vote YES on Amendment 4 to restore voting rights.
