Iowa To Restore Voting Rights For Felons By Presidential Election

Iowa's Governor Kim Reynolds plans to sign an executive order to restore voting rights to felons before the presidential election. Iowa is the last state to automatically deny voting rights to felons for life, affecting around 60,000 people, including a significant portion of the Black population. Activists are concerned about potential conditions like restitution payments. Florida faced a similar issue, requiring felons to pay court fees before voting, which was ruled unconstitutional. Florida is appealing the decision.
