SUMMARY: Attorneys are urging the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Mississippi’s Jim Crow-era law that disenfranchises individuals convicted of certain felonies, including nonviolent offenses like forgery and timber theft.

The appeal argues that this severe disenfranchisement scheme is unconstitutional and disproportionately impacts Black residents.
