In a devastating blow to her chances to win Florida in her likely 2008 presidential run:
MIAMI — A federal appeals court in Atlanta on Tuesday upheld Florida's 160-year-old law enforcing a lifetime ban on voting rights (search) for convicted felons.
Ex-felons sued in 2000 to get their voting rights restored when their sentences are finished, instead of having to apply through a complex system for civil rights restoration. Many never apply or don't complete the process.
Looks like, at least for the time being, the Hildebeast will have to troll for votes elsewhere.
