State known for razor thin voting margins, more than a 1,000,000 people just be eligible to vote down.

The middle explanation of that is what's first today on CNN.

A new state law just took effect in Florida that will restore voting rights to people who've been convicted of felonies.

Until this week, Florida was one of four states where convicted felons were never allowed to vote again.

But in last November's midterm elections, almost 65% of Florida's voters decided to change that, giving the right to vote back to about 1.4 million former offenders.

People convicted of murder or certain types of assault are still not allowed to vote for those who are.

The law requires them to have completed all the terms of their criminal sentences.

For one thing, it's up to the former offenders themselves to determine whether they've completed their terms.

But what about any fines they've been ordered to pay?

An election supervisor says the law isn't clear about how that should be handled.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Florida a civil rights group led the effort to get the law passed.

But the law has some critics on both sides of the political aisle.

Some say convicted felons should first prove they can live a life free of crime before they're allowed to vote.

Others have said that all former offenders should be allowed to vote even if they've committed crimes like murder.

This law is getting a lot of attention specifically because it's taking effect in Florida.

Politically, it's considered a swing state, one that could choose either a Democrat or Republican.

And because it's a state with a high number of electoral votes, political analysts are trying to figure out how this could affect Florida's influence on future elections.

New voters in a state already infamous for razor thin margin elections and nail biting recounts were the swing ist of swing states.

Political science professor Charles Elden says Amendment four has the potential to dramatically alter Florida's political landscape.

Doesn't matter what party there, because this potentially changes the political dynamic across the state in every county in every voting district, but that no one knows for sure what such a massive potential increase to the voter rolls in such a short amount of time will mean for the political establishment.

And that's why, Zeldin says, politicians are rattled.

What is the most valuable company on the planet?

Microsoft is the world's most valuable company.

At one point last year, Amazon was even more valuable it past the $1 trillion mark.

But like other technology companies, it's fallen from that peak with dips in the stock market since then.

It's founder who owned 16% of the company, remains the wealthiest person on earth.

Amazon says that New York City, one of the places where it plans to build a second headquarters.

We'll see 25,000 new jobs over the next decade that Amazon will hire people from all five boroughs of New York City and that their positions will receive an average salary of $150,000 a year.

But despite all this and a print ad in some New York newspapers, that red Happy New Year from your future neighbors at Amazon, its plans have met with protests, as some of those new neighbors don't want the company to come.

New York City Council member to me, Van Bramer.

A few days before the hearing, Van Bramer showed me round the Queensbridge Houses, the largest public housing development in the U.

It's less than a mile from the proposed Amazon site.

We all should be concerned with the level of unemployment that exists here in Queensbridge level of poverty.

Why is it not a good thing that an Amazon wants to bring all these high paying jobs to boost the area?

Well, particularly because there are no guarantees that anyone here in Queensbridge are gonna have access to those jobs.

New York is following a long established playbook when it comes to attracting big companies offering Amazon up to $3 billion in grants and incentives to develop this waterfront area.

They say, in return for 25,000 high paying new jobs and up to $30 billion in new tax revenue, the revenue to incentive ratio that is the highest rate of return for an economic incentive program that the state has ever offered.

And yet Amazons decision has ignited a debate here that goes well beyond the rate of return.

Some experts question whether the incentives necessary.

The fact that Amazon had a bid worth $9.7 billion from Pittsburgh and eight and 1/2 1,000,000,000 from Maryland and didn't go to any of those places speaks volumes about the fact that incentives are almost always irrelevant.

Amazon has promised to invest $5 million in workplace development in Long Island City, including holding hiring events that Queensbridge Van Bramer, this is now bigger than Amazon.

This is an opportunity, an inflection point for us as a society to be thinking about how we do economic development.
