Episode 33: The Backlash Against Expanding Voting Rights

from The Appeal

States throughout the U.S. have recently expanded voting rights to millions of people with felony records previously barred from participating in elections. After a brief moment of celebration, two of them, Iowa and Florida, are now experiencing backlash from Republican lawmakers advocating for policies that would curtail those rights. This week, we are joined by The Appeal's Kira Lerner to discuss the hurdles these movements still face and the forces pushing back against the wave of increased enfranchisement.
