1 in Every 40 Americans Cannot Vote in Election in November
-----------------------------------------------------------

In news from the campaign trail, one in every 40 Americans will not be
able to vote in this November's presidential election as a result of
state laws that prohibit people with felony convictions from voting,
even after they have served their full sentences. The states in which
the greatest percentage of people will not be able to vote are Florida,
Mississippi, Kentucky and Tennessee.
