An organization started by NBA superstar LeBron James and other Black athletes and entertainers announced that it will help Floridians with prior felony convictions register to vote in the November election
More Than A Vote said it will donate $100,000 to the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition's fund for Floridians struggling to pay off outstanding fees and fines associated with their felony convictions before they register to vote."This is a fight about their constitutional right to vote being denied," James, the NBA champion and former Cleveland Cavaliers and Miami Heat star who now plays for the Los Angeles Lakers, tweeted Friday.
Proceeds from the screening will go directly to the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition's"fines and fees program."More than one million Floridians with prior felony convictions had their voting rights restored with a constitutional amendment passed in November 2018. Amendment 4, which allowed convicted felons who complete"all terms of sentence" the right to vote, passed with nearly 65% of the vote, exceeding the 60% threshold required.
