Restoration of voting rights to incarcerated Mass. residents is an issue of civil and racial justice
Manage episode 444031395 series 2857709
The 2024 presidential and statewide elections have brought renewed attention to voting issues – particularly challenges or limitations to certain citizens’ right to vote. For more than 4.6 million people living in the U.S., the right to vote has been taken away due to a felony conviction, with some states even placing lifetime bans on the formerly incarcerated. And with former President Donald Trump’s numerous felony convictions, the question of who gets to keep their voting rights and who loses them has been placed into an even brighter spotlight. We speak with three experts and advocates about the importance of restoring full voting rights for all Massachusetts residents.
