Congressional Hearing Set on Bill to Let Ex-Felons Vote in Federal Elections

Found this on Ballot Access News:

A subcommittee of the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee will hear testimony on HR 3335 on Tuesday, March 16, at 2 p.m., in Room 2141 of the Rayburn House Office Building. HR 3335 permits any legally competent adult U.S. citizen to vote in federal elections, unless the person is incarcerated.

The bill would have the effect of letting almost 4,000,000 people register to vote, who cannot now register to vote, do to laws in certain states that bar ex-felons from registering.
