A team from Rutgers Law School is trying to overturn
laws in 48 states that prevent citizens with felony convictions from voting.
They argue the restrictions
violate international human rights
laws.
They filed a brief before
the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights in Washington, D.C., which
monitors countries to
protect human rights.
Congress has been unable to pass voting rights
legislation, including federal laws eliminating, or at least limiting, felony
disenfranchisement.
