Direct disenfranchisement is a drop in the bucket compared to the willful lack of participation more than a third of the country participates in. If even half the people who decided to stay home every election day decided to try and participate, the entire contest would be a wash. It wouldn't even be close.
But they don't, because "the system is rigged and there's no point in trying to fix it".
It's more than enough to swing elections by margin of victory
