Decades waiting to vote: Louisiana parolees, probationers set to get voting rights back Friday

“Johnston, who is jokingly called “Biggy” because he is such a small guy, is one of approximately 36,000 people on parole and probation in Louisiana expected to get their voting rights restored Friday. After 26 years out of prison and on parole, he said he’s not going to waste any time signing up before the next election.“
