Mississippi disenfranchises nearly 11% of its voting age population, the highest percentage in the country. The impact of felony disenfranchisement on the state’s Black population is particularly staggering: “African Americans constitute 36% of Mississippi’s voting age population, but 59% of its disenfranchised individuals.

African American adults are thus 2.7 times more likely than white adults to have been convicted of a disenfranchising crime”
