For all the bruhaha about “disenfranchisement” in Florida and Michigan, many remain mum on the over 5.3 Million Americans who have currently or permanently lost the right to vote due to a felony conviction. That’s 1 in 4 adults! For more information and to learn how you can make a difference, check out GetUpStandUp.com
