Similar Stories to Alabama's Republican Governor Just Helped Thousands Of Felons Get Their Voting Rights Back on Bing News

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed a law on Wednesday that could restore voting rights to thousands of felons, many of them African American, in a state where about 250,000 people are disenfranchised because of their criminal records. The change is all about finally defining a key legal phrase in the state's constitution: "moral turpitude." Currently, Alabama blocks anyone from voting who has committed a crime that falls into this category.
