With the presidential election only months away, things continue to heat up in the race to the White House. However, a new study finds there are millions of Americans who won't be allowed to vote.
A new report estimates that nearly 6 million Americans will not be voting because they've been convicted of a felony. That translates into 2.5 percent of the U.S. voting age population.
The Sentencing Project , a D.C. advocacy group that pushes for voter restoration, conducted the report by breaking down the disenfranchisement numbers state by state for the year 2010.
