Yep. I've never sat in a cell with anybody who thought tax cuts for the wealthy were important, or who thought government should help them and their old lady out when times got lean. They tend to think there's TOO many cops, and they are big supporters of constitutional rights, even when they're uncertain exactly what they are.
The main things that people who regularly get locked up have in common with the American Political Right is that they tend to hate at least ONE other race, they're all for blowing up foreigners, and they tend to be pretty religious, if not awfully committed to any given denomination...
From the FOX article: Carruthers attributed differences in the numbers to Minnesota Majority's lack of access to nonpublic information, such as exact birth dates and other court records. For example, he said, "public records might show a felon was given 10 years probation, but internal records the county attorney has might show that the probation period was cut to five and the felon was eligible to vote."
Uh- yeah, so the breakdown needs to be even greater than 91.5% - although to be fair, the Obama Administration counts felon votes twice.

"I myself saw one man vouch for a busload of Muslim women in veils or full niqab, then proceed to 'help' them vote."
That tune sounds so familiar, though the words are slightly different...

What the EFF was I thinking. I started reading those comments and almost left a reply.
I blame fish.
