One in 10 adults in Florida can’t vote because of laws that keep many felons from the ballot box long after they’ve served their time. That could change in November when a constitutional amendment that would restore voting rights to most felons will be on the ballot. 

On Sunday’s “Last Week Tonight,” John Oliver launched an appeal to the state’s voters to pass the measure. And he did so by speaking to Florida in the most Florida way possible. 

Check it out in the clip above.
