It was with a 54-year-old Milwaukee resident who explained to Lang’s colleague that she wasn’t voting because she was a convicted felon. Unbeknownst to her, she had been eligible for about 12 years since she completed her probation. A BLOC staffer was the first to tell her she could, in fact, vote.
