Janine Williams – here, with her son Zion – thought she’d regain her right to vote after Amendment 4 passed in Florida in 2018. The initiative restored voting rights to 1.4 million state residents, but lawmakers later undermined it by requiring that people convicted of felonies pay off their court costs and fines before casting a ballot. “It’s not fair,” Williams said. “I have a [voter registration] card that I cannot use. A voice that won’t be heard, all because I can’t afford it.” Photo courtesy of Janine Williams
