A pair of bills that would have restructured the restoration of voting rights to ex-felons in Florida were also postponed without a vote. Florida has some of the harshest laws in the nation when it comes to ex-felons' ability to get the right to vote returned to them. In most states, it's automatically returned after felons complete probation and parole. In Florida, a commission comprised of the governor and his cabinet has to return the right to vote to ex-felons, and the commission rarely decides to do so.
