An attack on democracy is
taking place in Alabama as hundreds of thousands of people are denied the
ability to vote.
Not only does Alabama take
away the right to vote for people with felony convictions, it is one of just a
handful of states where people's voting rights are not restored once their
sentences are complete. That's 250,000 Alabamians who can never cast a ballot
for the rest of their lives!
Even more outrageous, some of
the people who aren't allowed to vote never should have lost their voting rights
in the first place! Under the Alabama Constitution, people convicted of
nonviolent, low-level drug crimes never lose their voting rights, even while
they are in jail or prison--but current state policy does not actually let them
vote.
An incredible 70,000
Alabamians convicted of low-level drug offenses, who are actually eligible
voters, are denied the chance to exercise their constitutionally guaranteed
voting right.
TOPS has been going into
prisons and jails around the state to register eligible voters. Rev. Glasgow
said in his op-ed, "After visiting jails and prisons throughout the state and
registering thousands of voters, I can tell you these people are not being
notified of their voting rights, nor is there a system in place that allows them
to exercise those rights."
