Could felons decide the election?

Summary

83% Informative

The Nebraska Supreme Court recently ruled that felons who have completed their criminal sentences can vote.

The ruling is the latest in a trend in recent years , even on the part of Republicans , to give the formerly incarcerated their voting abilities back or to better define their states' existing laws on the matter.

Skeptics say even when the movement takes steps forward, it has little, if any, effect on elections.

By 2022 , 12% of black Floridians could not vote because of their felony convictions.

But whether these numbers have an impact on Florida 's election outcomes remains questionable.

In Virginia , voting rights groups were up in arms when Gov. Glenn Youngkin repealed a law that automatically restored felons' rights to vote when they left jail.
