Florida has entered the first stage of reopening as restaurants, stores, and museums are now allowed to operate at 25 percent capacity, and parks and beaches have also reopened, across much of the state.
We spoke with Dr. Shamarial Roberson, Florida Deputy Secretary of Health, and Gary Fineout of POLITICO about how it’s going and what to expect next.
Voting Rights
The virtual trial over Florida’s Amendment 4 wrapped up this week. The constitutional amendment restores the right to vote for felons after they complete their sentences.

Sean Morales-Doyle, Senior Counsel at Brennan Center for Justice, and Fineout joined us for a closer look.
