Pressley, Welch introduce legislation to guarantee right to vote for people with felonies on record

"We are still in the Civil Rights movement and Jim Crow is not behind us when laws and courts continue to disenfranchise voters from all walks of life — including by gutting the Voting Rights Act, gerrymandering, cuts to early voting, and more," Pressley said. "We must reject this unjust status quo and advance bold policies to strengthen our democracy and make it more inclusive."

The legislation stands long odds of being passed by the Republican-controlled House.
