[EL] Felon Disenfranchisement

[David Adamany]

Indeed, where it is proven that the purpose of felon disenfranchisement laws is to disqualify African Americans or any other specific sector of the population, the more general language of the 14th Amendment that seems to approve disenfranchisement laws enacted to disqualify felons is not applicable.   That too is established law.  Hunter v. Underwood,  471 U.S. 222 (1985).   David
