How Felony Disenfranchisement Harms 56,000 North Carolinians

This podcast originally aired on March 3, 2023. In 1876, North Carolina added a felony disenfranchisement provision to its state constitution with the express purpose of disenfranchising Black voters. Forward Justice Co-Director Daryl Atkinson joins to discuss how felony disenfranchisement harms communities. Atkinson and his team were involved in a lawsuit challenging the provision. While the trial court initially struck down the provision — and returned voting rights to 56,000+ North Carolinians — the North Carolina Supreme Court overturned the ruling on April 28, 2023.
