    Yeah, a lot of people don’t vote out of apathy, but IMO straight up voter suppression (especially the less overt kind) is an understated effect on our elections. It would be ridiculous to think having the world’s largest prison population per capita doesn’t also lead to a huge reduction in voting rights for those imprisoned, both currently and previously.
