    Roughly 80 million people that were eligible to vote in 2020 did not, which pretty average for presidential elections. That is right around 1/3 of the country.

    Only around 2%, or around 5 million are disenfranchised due to felonies. Largely black obviously, and much higher in southern States (shocker). Some at around 8% total! And over 1 million of the 5 are from Florida.
