Felony Disenfranchisement Laws (Map)
A patchwork of state felony disfranchisement laws, varying in severity from state to state, prevent millions of Americans with felony (and in several states, misdemeanor) convictions from voting. Confusion about and misapplication of these laws de facto disenfranchise countless other Americans. This map from the American Civil Liberties Union summarizes the status of voting rights in each state for people who are incarcerated or formerly incarcerated, as well as recent state reforms.
