If you haven't already, you might try The Sentencing Project, available at
www.sentencingproject.org. They did a comprehensive 50-state survey of the
felon disenfranchisement situation back in December of 1999, and I bet they have
probably kept it up to date. SJM

I'm trying to track changes to felony disfranchisement laws post-2000, and
need some help since state law is difficult to track. I have identified
Massachusetts as now disfranchising felony prisoners, New Mexico as now
allowing felons who have served their full sentence (parole or probation) to
vote, and Connecticut as now allowing persons on probation to vote. Is
anyone aware of other states that have revised their felony disfranchisement
laws? I've put a current table of laws, with links to the mentioned
changes, at: http://elections.gmu.edu/felony_disfranchisement.htm.
Thanks!
