Nubian Roberts from Florida Rights Restoration Coalition talks with Taunya Tyson, right, who just registered to vote in Jacksonville, Fla., Tuesday, Jan. 8, 2019. Tyson lost her right to vote after a felony driving with a suspended license sentence in 2011. Former felons in Florida began registering for elections on Tuesday, when an amendment that restores their voting rights went into effect.
