The Supreme Court yesterday rejected a challenge to Florida's ban on voting rights for felons, letting stand a 137-year-old law that applies to both inmates and ex-convicts.
The justices offered no comment in deciding not to review the ban, similar versions of which apply in every state, except Maine and Vermont.
In a busy day for the court, the justices also said they will not review a North Carolina case involving the constitutionality of an "In God We Trust" engraving on a government building.
