That the United States incarcerates people at a higher rate than most countries in the world is, by now, a truism. In many democratic nations, including Canada and most of the European Union, voting rights for incarcerated citizens are not revoked. In total, 4.6 million people are locked out of the democratic process in the United States. I wonder what people might fear about currently and formerly incarcerated people voting? Since the end of the Civil War, the United States has found ways to disenfranchise Black voters.
