87. Felons can't vote

In most states, especially southern states, felons can't vote. It is a deliberate disenfranchisement of the poor and especially black men and other minorities, which make up a hugely disproportion of the prison population. We live in a police state which locks up anyone without money and power.

Land of the incarcerated and home of the scared shitless (Terror!!! Terror!!!)
