Also, seems kind of scary that this implies a future where so many people are in prison that their vote could actually tip the balance ?

That title needs a lot of editing. It does end in a question mark, but it's structured like a statement. Even if it is a question, it appears that your asking if it seems that way way to you. How is anyone else supposed to know how it seems to you?
