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. Since 1994, nearly 50,000 people have lost voting rights in Mississippi, with a significant portion completing their sentences. The current case challenges a July ruling from the conservative 5th Circuit, emphasizing the need for judicial intervention in altering these laws.
