So, this might be a little off topic, but the book I'm reading mentioned that minorites and immigrants are typically imprisoned more than whites, and if you're convicted of a felony in some states you lose the right to vote at all. The prison industrial complex is privatized and the quota that needs to be filled often has terrible racist consequences.
What I'm getting at is that at the rate of incarceration and the huge prisoner population, even if minorities are having more kids, do they have the voting power to change the government?
