Illegal Charged in California Rapes:  A previously deported illegal alien has been charged with raping four young women while working as an Uber driver.  Christopher Weber of the Associated Press reports that Alfonso Alarcon-Nunez, a Mexican citizen, targeted intoxicated women which he drove to their homes and raped before robbing them of their cellphones, computers and jewelry.  Alarcon-Nunez was deported from New Mexico in 2005.  California issues driver's licenses to illegal aliens and Alarcon-Nunez acquired his in 2015 which helped him qualify as a driver for Uber.  The rapes began in mid-December in the seaside town of San Luis Obispo, home to Cal Poly State University.  With the help of DNA evidence, detectives were able to identify Alarcon-Nunez as suspect and arrest him last week.  Police are reaching out to the community for other possible victims to come forward.  If convicted on all counts the suspect could receive a life sentence.   Last week California Attorney General Xavier Becerra threatened to prosecute private citizens and businesses who help Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials identify illegal aliens.

Will Florida Let Felons Vote?  The group Floridians for Fair Democracy has submitted nearly eight hundred thousand signatures to qualify a ballot measure that, if passed, would give roughly 1.5 million convicted felons the right to vote.  Steven Lemongello of the Orlando Sentinel reports that the group, which raised nearly $4 million over the past year, wants to allow all felons, except murderers and sex offenders, to vote in state and local elections.  Two other proposals giving voting rights to felons were approved last week by a committee of the Florida Constitutional Revision Commission.  Neither would appear on the state ballot unless the full Commission votes to approve them.
