According to a 2004 investigation by the Prison Reform Advocacy Center, many former Ohio prisoners may be disenfranchised because officials have wrongly told them they cannot vote. The study reveals that a significant percentage of released prisoners, including 43% of those surveyed in Hamilton County, believe they are ineligible to vote while on community supervision. An Ohio ex-offenders ability to exercise his or her lawful voting rights may well depend on where he or she lives

Its a shame how many racist, ignorant white people there still are in our country, the home of the free, the tolerant, the U.S.A. I am a proud white person, and I Love black people. I LOVE ALL PEOPLE, RACIST WHITE PEOPLE AS WELL, BECAUSE THEY STILL HAVE GOODNESS IN THEIR HEARTS.

And scarbor, I'm sure the INDIGENOUS people(I don't use the word "Indian" - India is 5,000 MILES EAST OF THE US, therefore that term is geographically illogical) said the same about the LIKES OF YOU. Where the FUCK do you get off lumping all Black people together? Oh wait - you're incapable of seeing outside your eurocentric, disneyesque, pleasantville, alabaster freedom/justice/liberty for everybody/melting pot/ whitewashed bullshit glasses to see any other group of peoples' misfortunes.
