There is increasing concern about the disenfranchisement of convicted criminals in the US; because convictions are not spread equally among races and political parties, lack of voting rights disproportionately affects some communities. Although the Civil Rights Act sought to eliminate the disenfranchisement of citizens based on race, recent court challenges appear to be gutting its protections.
