Florida: 1,600 ex-felons eligible to vote

 Florida Division of Elections did an about-face Wednesday, acknowledging that 1,600 former felons whose voting rights had been restored should be removed from its list of potentially ineligible voters. The Herald reported last week that the 1,600 were among more than 2,100 felons who remained on the state's list even though they had regained the right to vote. The Department of State -- whose secretary, Glenda Hood, reports to Gov. Jeb Bush -- backtracked on the issue. [more]
