All six of the southern US states, are banning felons from voting even after probation and parole and even for petty crimes.

The republican push is to eliminate as many black voters as possible, with 7 percent of black voters removed due to felony charges. Blacks are therefore targeted in this effort to eliminate their voting rights, which is the plan to cut voters for President Obama.

A total of 5.3 Million Americans won’t be allowed to vote in this election because of past criminal history.

In the republican book, a felon is banned from voting for Life.

Mississippi is one of the 12 states that has permanently banned felons from voting, which is being argued by the American Civil Liberties Union. In the new state laws, even if you were convicted of petty crimes such as: shoplifting, you will be banned from voting.

48 States are prohibiting prisoners from voting, 36 states will stop parolees from voting, 31 states prohibit those on probation. Instead of stopping felons from voting, states should be forcing them to vote as part of their civic duty and they will continue to be part of the society instead of shutting them out of the political world. Who knows, some of them would qualify to run for office.
