2019 Symposium on Felon Disenfranchisement - Panel 1

2019 Symposium on Felon Disenfranchisement presented by the University of Missouri Law Review.
In the past 20 years, 23 states have adopted more lenient disenfranchisement policies, yet nearly six million Americans are not eligible to vote because of a felony conviction.
These limits on the access to vote have received increased attention as the 2020 elections approach, in part because felony disenfranchisement has important electoral and democratic implications. This symposium dovetailed with the Missouri Law School’s one read book, Michelle Alexander’s The New Jim Crow.
