Mississippi might not be such a shit hole if the high school graduation requirement wasn't simply being able to spell the states name. /s

According to the article, the original law may have been enacted at that time but it has been changed throughout the years. Sounds like people are upset there is a law on the books from a certain time period more than what the law is in the current day and time.

I'd have to see what the actual crimes that affect your voting status are to have any strong feelings on this.

The conservative majority of the court said the law was steeped in racism, but decided that the state had made enough changes to it over its 132-year history that its racist origins had been transcended.

"Yeah, the law is racist but we definitely fixed it, I swear!"

I wouldn't.

Fuck Mississippi, let's imprison the court justices responsible.

The article makes a note of saying it still disproportionately disenfranchises blacks, so it's probably safe to assume the law hasn't shed its racist history.

There's very little that justifies permanently losing your right to vote, and I doubt Confederate states would list treason as one of the crimes that does so.

Shoplift a piece of gum at 16. 50 years later you're still not allowed to vote.

And some moron will say "cAn'T dO tHe TiMe DoN't Do ThE cRiMe!" and pretend they give a shit about justice.

Felony is a pretty good qualifier but if you wanted it to be stricter, if you kill someone then giving up your right to vote is only fair because you forcibly removed someone else's ability to vote permanently

The problem is that you have to assume law enforcement is acting in good faith when dealing with minorities and given that this is Mississippi we're talking about....fat chance.

I mean, it's not particularly rare for black men to be charged with murder in incidents where it was either self-defense or, better yet, they're outright innocent. Not to mention it's easy as hell for law enforcement to pin a crime on somebody if they really wanted to.

Sure, they think they amended a lot to override it. Everything is obviously set in stone, like abortion rights. Those aren't being undone, and surely this can't be undone ever either!

It's not. If you are required to pay taxes then you should be able to vote.

This.

And to elaborate, any good voting law should prioritize expanding rights for valid citizens (even if it means a miniscule number of bad apples slip through the cracks) versus being so restrictive that even valid voters aren't able to do so.

Exactly.

Losing your right to vote is basically a lifetime sentence tacked on even after you did your time.

If you break the law(excluding especially horrible stuff like murder/treason), go to jail, serve your sentence, and never do another crime again, you shouldn't lose your right to vote.
