Louisiana was one of the last two states to require only 10 of 12 jurors to convict in felony cases. Of those who have been recently exonerated of crimes? More than 40% were found guilty by non-unanimous juries.https://www.aclu.org/blog/racial-justice/race-and-criminal-justice/louisiana-just-made-major-stride-ending-jim-crow-state …

It’s simple. If you pay taxes you should be allowed to vote. Felony or not.
-
That's not what it's about
-
Yeah I mean I’ve personally paid hundreds of thousands of dollars of US taxes and have no expectation of voting yet :)
-
If you are not an American citizen I don’t think it is fair that you pay taxes here. I would totally give you a 100% refund.
-
This is a really weird take that you should probably read up a bit more before committing to :) I use the roads here, etc.
-
If you use the road do you pay road tax with your gasoline.

What the...?! This is NOT THE TOPIC.
