    Wonder why they made that decision?

    More than 9% of the voting age population, or around 471,600 Tennesseans, can’t vote because of a felony conviction, according to a 2022 estimate by the Sentencing Project, a criminal justice non-profit. More than 21% of Black adults are disenfranchised.

    Oh. Yeah. Now it all makes sense.

    At least the residents that participated in the January 6th insurrection won’t be able to vote in 2024 then.
