In 2024, an estimated 4 million Americans, representing 1.7% of the voting-age population, will be ineligible to vote.

    2024

    I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure it's 2026 now and our population is growing, not shrinking

    And that 4m number is down from their 2022 report (4.4m), so you can't tell me the felon population has grown with the US population

    So you just made up a number that felt good to you, but demanded hard sources from me? I think you have done a fine job of expressing the validity of yourself as a source. Thank you.

    Bruh 1.1% is a lot closer to 1.7% than the literally 5% value originally commented above. Sue me for taking the latest available felon numbers and dividing by current US population

    You are having a reading comprehension and retention issue, and you have a lack of understanding for how statistics work.

    Funny, I was thinking the same thing about you

    The really entertaining thing is that this is all over an aside in my OC because you didn't like the word I chose to comparatively represent the size of the felony population in a post about how awful it is to take people's right to vote away.

    Talk about picking the wrong target. Fuckin yikes.

    I made a cordial correction to your statement, overall agreeing with your sentiment, and you got aggravated.

    You even admitted that you personally made up the statistic you used. Mine have all been directly taken from trusted sources.

    You are projecting.
