Explain the relationship between the current state of mass incarceration in the U.S. and the underrepresentation of non-white voters in U.S. elections.
What will be an ideal response?
1. Non-whites are disproportionately incarcerated.
2. In the age of mass incarceration, this mean that a young black man is more likely to serve time in prison than he is to attend college.
3. Felons (who are disproportionately non-white) lose their right to vote in all but two states.
4. In turn, the votes of non-whites are underrepresented in elections, because systematically non-whites have had their legal rights to vote withheld.
