- DISCUSSION PROMPT 2: Most states do not restore felons’ right to vote after the completion of their sentences. Given the racial disparities in the American criminal justice system (e.g., 1 in 13 African Americans have lost their right to vote due to felon disenfranchisement, as compared to 1 in 56 non-Black voters, according to the Sentencing Project 2020), do you think states should or should not restore felons’ right to vote? Should citizens lose the right to vote in certain circumstances, or should this right be absolute and never taken away? Explain your answer. How might felon disenfranchisement laws impact a community’s willingness to vote in general?
