flag Louisiana jails voting rights for unconvicted inmates, sparking a lawsuit over constitutional fairness.

flag In Louisiana, unconvicted individuals in jail cannot vote due to a law requiring in-person registration, despite constitutional rights affirmed by the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments. flag A lawsuit by Voice of the Experienced argues this rule disenfranchises people awaiting trial, some held for years, and calls for an exception similar to those for disabled voters and military personnel. flag The state already verifies identities, making fraud unlikely. flag Advocates urge lawmakers to update the law to uphold constitutional rights and ensure fair participation in democracy.
