Behind the Iron-y Bars: Who’d be Elected if *all* Convicted Felons Could Vote?

Nationly

While convicted felon — and former president — Donald Trump parades across the United States, campaigning for electoral support, thousands of American people convicted with felonies sit barred from voting.

In this episode, co-hosts Juan Diego Ramírez and Sara Sadhwani dig into understanding convicted felons as a political group: their rights and lack thereof, their parties and affiliations, and their potential voting power. Nationly’s producer-reporter, Sofía Sanchez, talks to expert Hannah L. Walker to ultimately ask: Could outcomes change if folks with felony convictions — in all states — got to participate in 2024 elections too?

The episode is co-hosted by political science professor Sara Sadhwani and multimedia journalist J.D. Ramirez.
