Former inmates who lost their voting rights, many of them for non-violent drug offenses, have told ThinkProgress they feel like “less than a citizen” and “less than human.”


Oh this is rich. Just imagine the absolute fun you'd be having with this, if those former inmates had said the same thing about a constitutionally protected right - gun rights.

They'd go from being the poor disenfranchised former felons, to the "ammosexuals" whos decisions and judgment can't be trusted, all with a switch of the topic.
