Every vote must be counted. But now is also a time to think about the millions of votes that won't be counted because they weren't able to be cast in the first place. More than 5 million Americans are denied the vote to vote due to racist felony disenfranchisement laws.
In Florida, voters overwhelmingly voted to get rid of the state's felony disenfranchisement law. The Republican-led legislature responded, with the blessing of GOP-dominated courts, by instituting a de facto poll tax that prevented hundreds of thousands of Floridians from voting.
Felony disenfranchisement isn't the only impediment to voting that people face. Since 2012, more than 1,600 polling places in locations previously covered by the VRA's preclearance requirement have been closed. Many of the polling places were in predominantly Black neighborhoods.
The result was longer lines, especially for Black voters. One study found that voters in predominantly Black neighborhoods were 74% more likely to have to wait at least 30 minutes to vote. Those wait times can make voting impossible, especially for parents and essential workers.
