Most states will grant voting rights back after parole or supervised release

She jumped the gun

If a federal conviction like hers technically you can’t ever vote in a federal election baring a pardon

the current criminal justice system is designed to make people fail.

Because every single participant ( judges, DAs, PDs, cops, jailers etc etc ) know this is how they keep their jobs

If Anericans understood how morally corrupt the system is - they destroy it and start anew

I thought that most states permanently disenfranchised felons and was surprised Texas didn't. I went to Texas's voter website and saw this on their voter registration application right above the signature:

I understand that giving false information to procure a voter registration is perjury, and a crime under state and federal law. Conviction of this crime may result in imprisonment up to 180 days, a fine up to $2,000, or both. Please read all three statements to affirm before signing.

I am a resident of this county and a U.S. Citizen;

I have not been finally convicted of a felony, or if a felon, I have completed all of my punishment including any term of incarceration, parole, supervision, period of probation, or I have been pardoned; and

I have not been determined by a final judgment of a court exercising probate jurisdiction to be totally mentally incapacitated or partially mentally incapacitated without the right to vote.

Pretty simple: local resident, citizen, not a felon and mentally capable.
