Abstract

The article "Double Disenfranchisement: Voting Rights for the Unhoused with Felony Records" explores the intersection of incarceration and homelessness, highlighting the challenges faced by individuals who are disenfranchised due to felony convictions and lack of stable housing. It discusses the historical context of felony disenfranchisement laws in the United States and the impact on marginalized communities. The author, Robert White Jr., advocates for reform to address practical obstacles that prevent unhoused individuals from exercising their right to vote, emphasizing the importance of inclusivity in democracy and the need for comprehensive solutions to break down barriers to civic participation.
