Episode 3 - Prison Gerrymandering & Felony Disenfranchisement in the US
from Natasha Explains It All · host Natasha Távora Baker
Last time we talked about voter suppression in the US. We talked about tactics like reducing polling locations, reducing early voting, not allowing vote by mail, etc. Let's look at a couple of additional ways that suppression plays out: prison gerrymandering and felony disenfranchisement. In the episode, I talked about the Prison Gerrymandering Project by the Prison Policy Institute. I also mentioned the book Let My People Vote by Desmond Meade, about the Amendment 4 fight in Florida to restore the right to vote for people with felony convictions.
