A Florida judge on Friday temporarily blocked a new law that prevents ex-convicts from voting in the state until they have paid all of their fees, fines and restitution, according to a report. U.S. District Court Judge Robert Hinkle said the law, passed by the Republican-controlled legislature this year, could be unconstitutional, Central Florida's News 13 reported. The judge added that Florida must establish a way for felons to register to vote if it’s determined they are “genuinely unable” to pay their fees and restitution, according to News 13. Last fall, Florida voters approved Amendment 4 that restores voting rights to some ex-convicts. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPSecretary of State Laurel Lee and Republican Gov.
