Are we talking about incarcerated felons, or felons that served their time?
Why not both?
Hmmm. Hmmm? I didn't really think about incarcerated before. But I suppose if you were imprisoned for a law you don't agree with, the way to change it is voting.
By keeping prisoners from voting, you prevent law from changing.
The proper way is to respect the law and vote for it's change, not to break the law and cry after a fact.
I've been dating my boyfriend since before it was legal. Thank you for your input, but no. Just no.
Yes both.
Why would it matter if felons voted while imprisoned or free? We should not be incarcerating so many people that their vote has anything beyond a trivial, marginal affect. That is to say the real question is why do we convict so many people of crimes?
