FEDERAL COURT RULING MAINTAINS LIFETIME VOTING BAN FOR MISSISSIPPI FELONS- Blackenterprise(all caps headline copied and pasted as was)
Tens of thousands of Mississippi residents will continue to be affected by a lifetime voting ban on those with felony convictions.
On July 18, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a 2023 ruling dismantling Mississippi’s harsh lifetime voting ban.
As the nation’s most conservative federal appeals court, civil rights advocates knew the moment could happen despite a shocking ruling made by a three-judge panel that deemed the no voting for life penalty as a “cruel and unusual punishment.”

How bout that. And just in time for the election.
