178. Ex-felons can vote in Georgia
In GA they automatically get their right to vote back when the sentence is completed. Which means that 10.5% of African-American males in Georgia, and 2.5% of all adults in Georgia, are *currently* in prison or on probation for a felony conviction.

This is absurd. We really do have an incarceration culture in this country.
