I suspect the politically-engaged ex-felon is more conservative, all other things being equal. Like legal immigrants are against illegal immigration. Politically-minded Ex-felon’s have done their time, and many now would be for law-breakers to face the justice that they paid.
Should have their 2A rights restored as well if the crime wasn’t gun-related.
I agree
Poll after poll asking felons who are interested in voting who they plan to vote for shows the opposite. The vast majority of ex-felons who are engaged politically are hardcore Democrats. It may have something to do with the fact that a large portion of them are young black males.
