Alabama's felon disenfranchisement policies are likely unconstitutional, and they have disparate impacts on felons who are poor, black, or both, according to experts.

Hmmm. You know I can think of a much more obvious group that this law disparately impacts since they constitute well over 90% of felons in Alabama. More so than race too.

Oddly enough the person they use as an example of a victim in this story happens to come from the advantaged majority that is the less than ten percent of those effected. Talk about a coincidence.

It's almost as if the people who wrote this article and the civil rights groups are just fine with one particular minority group being disenfranchised.

Probably men more than anyone.

I'm not seeing a problem here. I DON'T WANT felons to vote. There ought to be some real penalty for criminal behavior - like theft (and credit card fraud is just sneaky theft).

She wants to vote? Don't steal from people. If the law is going to allow her to vote again only after she has paid back what she stole, I think the state is being more than generous. Pay your "debt to society" - in this case, literally - and sin no more.
