TALLAHASSEE, Fla. —  Florida legislators are proposing to lump in the same category “sex workers who have been convicted of prostitution three times” with cyberstalkers and “inmates who expose themselves to prison workers,"  local public media reports.

The proposal currently discussed by the Florida House Criminal Justice Committee aims to set limits to a recent amendment to the state constitution restoring voting rights to an estimated 1.4 million voters.

The proposal disenfranchises those who completed sentences for a preposterously broad range of “sex-related offenses,” from opening an "adult entertainment store within 2,500 feet of a school” to “human trafficking.”
