The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has joined socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and basketball star Lebron James in the fight to give convicted felons voting rights.
In a series of tweets on Thursday, the ACLU argued that felony disenfranchisement has “racist roots” and demanded that prisoners be given the right to vote.
“Felony disenfranchisement means that SIX MILLION Americans are unable to vote because they are incarcerated, completing probation or parole, or have a past felony conviction. Our right to vote shouldn’t be taken away,” the ACLU tweeted.
