I am let assuming how many would-be voters have felony or felonies on their arrest record and cannot vote.

Where my son would be given a warning for that jay that falls out of his pocket, during a traffic stop, an African Amerian kid is going to do hard time. And not just in Ferguson - even in Washington DC, before cannabis was recently de-criminalized, a young AA man could spend 47 days in jail for a single joint!

Then the person who was arrested has a record and can't find work, and then things spiral out of control.
