On July 19, Nebraska's Legislative Bill 20 would take effect instantly, granting voting rights to some 7,000 people with past felony convictions.

The law never went into effect because two Republican elected officials, state Attorney General Mike Hilgers and Secretary of State Bob Evnen, halted implementation of the new law, shutting down new registrations for people with past felonies and throwing into question the voting rights of tens of thousands of Nebraskans.

Hilgers also declared unconstitutional a 2005 reform law ending lifetime disenfranchisement of anyone convicted of any felony. The 2005 law, Legislative Bill 53, allowed Nebraskans to vote two years after completing their sentences.

Senator Terrell McKinney of the Nebraska State Legislature representing District 11 spoke with Roland Martin about Republicans brazen attempt to toss laws that allow felons to vote after finishing criminal sentences.
