As Phantom pointed out, just because they legally have the right to vote, that doesn't mean people who don't want them to vote can't find ways to stop them from doing so.

For example, in 2013, Indiana governor Mike Pence signed in a law that said that each county that had more than 325,000 residents could only have one location open for early voting unless approved on a bi-partisan basis. The thing is, the only three Indiana counties that have more than 325,000 residents also collectively make up approximately 72% of Indiana's African American population. This created a bottleneck for African Americans' ability to access early voting in Indiana. Marion County, which includes the states largest city, Indianapolis, was reduced to only one voting precinct, which was located in an area downtown that had no available parking, thus making access to the early vote even harder.

Legally, African Americans in Indiana are still allowed to vote, but that law that Mike Pence signed in made it a hell of a lot harder.

So, yeah... just because a minority is legally allowed to vote, that doesn't mean they have an equal platform to do so.
