49. Has disenfranchising ex-convects ever been challenged in higher courts?

I thought Florida 2000 would have finally blown the lid off that particular scheme.

Enforce laws aggressively against minorities while larging ignoring the same crimes in White neighborhoods. Convict minorities of felonies while mostly charging Whites with misdemeanors. Make it illegal for felons to vote. Then share the felon lists with other states so a felony by a guy with the same name in another state gets you un-registered.

So much was made about the relatively small problems in that election : recount, chads, butterfly ballots. While ignoring the 80000+ people, mostly minorities, illegally disenfranchised.
