New Jersey Reinstates Voting Rights For Paroled Residents

The video discusses a new law in New Jersey that restores voting rights to over 80,000 residents on probation or parole, as part of Governor Phil Murphy's Second Chance agenda. The law aims to integrate former prisoners back into society and address racial disparities. Opponents argue against allowing convicted criminals to influence public policy, while advocates highlight the importance of reinstating voting rights. Additionally, a clean slate expungement process for low-level offenses is introduced, further supporting reintegration efforts.
