Left Behind: Florida’s former felons struggle to win back civil rights

About 1.5 million people have lost their right to vote — one-tenth of all Floridians of voting age and nearly one quarter of African-Americans. America Tonight traveled to Florida to watch former felons try to win back their voting rights in a day-long hearing before the state’s board of executive clemency.
