Amendment 4 in Action: From Behind Bars to the Ballot Box

In this week's new Central Florida: Beyond the Soundbite, Amendment 4, or better known as the felon voting rights, is the fiery topic that doesn't seem to die down. Voters approved Amendment 4 in 2018, restoring voting rights to most non-violent felons who finished their sentences. There is a legal battle over Florida's law requiring them to pay legal fees before they can vote again. However, there is an ongoing discussion in the Legislature and litigation in the courts. As that whole process continues, the man behind the 2018 amendment cast his ballot for the first time in more than 30 years on August 18.  Executive Director of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition Desmond Meade shares his personal struggles and why the fight is far from over. And Greg Angel shares his positive story of the week that features Tucker, his cute little dog.
