During much of this election cycle, Julius Irving of Gainesville, Fla., spent his days trying to get former felons registered to vote.
He would tell them about Florida’s Amendment Four, a ballot initiative that extended the franchise to those who had, in the past, been convicted on felony charges — it added an estimated 1.5 million people to the electorate, the nation’s largest voting expansion in four decades.
On today’s episode, Nicholas Casey, a national politics reporter, spends time with Mr. Irving in Gainesville and explores the voting rights battle in Florida.
Guest: Nicholas Casey, a national politics reporter for The New York Times.
