Some Mississippians with felony records one step closer to having voting rights restored
The Mississippi House of Representatives passed a bill Thursday to give voting rights back to people who were previously convicted of certain non-violent felonies. House Bill 1609, which required a two-thirds majority in the House to move forward on the historic legislation, passed through the chamber 96-11, garnering a large amount of bi-partisan support.
