I don’t think OP is talking about disenfranchisement in 2020. Historical disenfranchisement checks out with my understanding of history though.

- rendall 5y agoI was talking about the historical disenfranchisement. Although some argue that the disenfranchisement of felons is similarly motivated, especially considering how easy it is to get a felony in Mississippi
- seanmcdirmid 5y agoI lived in Vicksburg MS in the late 80s. Went to vote with my dad once, we had to drive out into the middle of the boonies to do it. I asked him “why did they put the voting place way out here?” We lived closer to the city, most black people in our district did as well, so they put the place to vote in a place where you would have to drive 30-45 minutes to do it. Voter repression is not just historical.
