Maine and Vermont (I believe) are the only two states that allow incarcerated people to vote. https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/elections/presidential/caucus/2019/04/06/bernie-sanders-says-states-should-felon-voting-rights-election-2020-iowa-caucus/3388679002/ …

Also important to note that *no* state has yet re-enfranchised incarcerated people. ME and VT simply never revoked it.

I thought Pastor Glasgow in AL won a lawsuit to do just that?

To vote in Alabama prisons? That would be fantastic. Link?

Equally important, prisoners are fighting to have all prisoners in this nation to have the #Right2Vote. Only the two states you mentioned allow this. The rest have heavy restrictions on how and when you are allowed to vote if convicted #PrisonStrike #Right2Vote
