"Alabama has one of the nation's most sweeping disenfranchisement laws for felons, who are stripped of the vote for the rest of their lives. It is unfair because it bars people from participating in the democratic process long after they have paid their debts to society. And it disproportionately hurts blacks: 31 percent of the black men in Alabama have been stripped of their right to vote. The Alabama Legislature passed a law this year that would have restored the vote to released felons, but Governor Riley vetoed it."
