In Florida, people with felonies who've completed their sentences and paid all outstanding court fees and fines are able to vote in this election.
Here & Now's Tonya Mosley checks in with Desmond Meade, president and executive director of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition, on the group's efforts to raise money to pay off fines and fees and get people registered to vote.

I guess if they've served their time then they should get to vote. I thought that if you had a felony you lost that privilege for life.

SGT Brad Baier - I am pretty sure it is based on the state. Amy Coney Barrett want to give felons their gun rights back so we have that to look forward to.

Gun Control Groups Voice 'Grave Concerns' About Supreme Court Nominee's Record
The Supreme Court has largely ducked Second Amendment cases for years. But if the Senate confirms Trump's pick, Amy Coney Barrett, that could produce a big shift on gun regulations.
