  • Summary

  • Four million people won’t be allowed to vote in the upcoming election because of laws in 48 states that restrict your right to vote if you’ve ever been convicted of a felony. Most of the folks affected have already served their sentences. And you can probably guess which race is disproportionately affected by these laws. Nicole Porter is a Senior Advocacy Director for The Sentencing Project. She joins us this episode to share their research on felony disenfranchisement and its origins in anti-Black racism.
