I believe you're expanding on my footnote, and I agree.

In addition to felons (permanently disenfranchised in most states), you have temporarily-disenfranchised prisoners, and prison-based population distortions that favor some districts over others.

You could probably make an even greater comparison between the voting powers of:

  - a Californian living in a district with high noncitizen population
  - a Wyomingian living in a district with a large penitentiary
WY and CA already start at a 4:1 disparity.

I don't see how you can count a illegal immigrant who can't legally hold a job or have a bank account as a free person either.
