Susan Hallett has voted just once in her life – but her lack of political participation is by no means a reflection of apathy. She is one of four million Americans who have lost the right to vote as the result of a felony conviction. Now she works as a paralegal, providing assistance to others with criminal records. She talks to host Dean Olsher about what the vote means to people like her. Produced by Amanda Aronczyk.
