Tennessee lets ex-felons register to vote, unless they still owe any restitution payments. On May 23, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear a case that challenges that policy concerning people who still owe money. The people who filed the case argue that the 24th amendment bans such a policy. The 24th amendment outlaws poll taxes “or other taxes” as a condition of voting. Terrence Johnson v Haslam, 10-1149. The 6th circuit had upheld the state policy by a vote of 2-1. Thanks to Thomas Jones for this news.
