(OK, not in so many words, but that's how the Supreme Court reads section two of the 14th Amendment.) Forty-eight states prohibit current inmates from voting, 36 keep parolees from the polls, 31 exclude probationers, and only two - Vermont and Maine - allow inmates to vote, according to the Sentencing Project, a liberal advocacy group in Washington...
