Abstrakt: The article focuses on demographics of those impacted by disenfranchisement and why voting rights for this group should be protected and categories of state laws that disenfranchise those with diminished mental capacity (DMC). It mentions citizens with DMC are wrongly being denied the right to vote and rationales for disenfranchisement will be discussed, followed by how those rationales manifest in society's attitudes, which act as barriers to voting.
