Disenfranchise means "to deprive someone of the right to vote".

By definition, nobody who is able to vote is disenfranchised.

How about if their (legal) vote is cancelled out by an ‘illegal’ vote. I would call that disenfranchisement.

Thank you - I was going to say (”and I’m not sure I even know what that word means”). I was thinking it was more like not being heard. Thanks!
