Just days before the primaries, governor DeSantis made sure not to clarify that these voters were felons who thought their rights were restored.

If you end up in prison, you won't need to buy a home. Get an attorney.
I am an Active duty soldier who is stationed at Fort Drum, NY. I was informed by family I have a notice to show up to court on Oct 18th for jury duty but I am in NY at the moment. Am I exempt, or is there a way I can be exempt?

You should be exempt from jury service; however, you will need to make sure that you contact the court and provide them with paperwork reflecting that you are on active duty.

It doesn’t work that way. There are two separate systems: the federal system, and the state system. There is no federal analog to an initiative process.

How do I best respond to someone saying: "Apparently EVERYONE missed the fact that ALL early and mail-in ballots were illegally cast and must be void under federal law 2 USC 7 and 3 USC 1." ?

Yes. The 22nd Amendment, ratified by the states in 1951, sets forth the two-term limit standard. It was a reaction to Franklin Roosevelt's FOUR election victories ('32, '36, '40, and '44). He served a portion of his fourth term until his death in office in 1945.... Read more »

No, you can't sue the Supreme Court on the basis of that case. But if you can show that one or more states has violated federal statute, it might be possible to sue those states, provided that you do it before the "safe harbor" deadline which will happen in a few days.
I am asking for a friend. They were granted a DVO from their abusive boyfriend back in May. The boyfriend will not stop retaliating and now his lawyer is trying to have my friend's DVO overturned because the judge was not reelected in the past election. I was wondering if this would be applicable.

The income tax code is not tied into voting. Think of childhood stars who had very large income (Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Shirley Temple, etc.) They all paid tax on their income even if they could not vote.
