I remember making that exact same point to newgeezer many years ago.

Personally, I am 100% against blanket restoration of felons voting rights.

Convicted Felons Should Not Have the Right to Vote

Kids aren't "dangerous" but, we don't let them vote and we don't put them in prison. The same goes for non-citizens.

Sure, there are some felons who are truly reformed. But, if there is a good way to make that determination, I'm unaware of it. I sure don't want some Democrat governor deciding all felons are good to vote (as happened here some years ago).

How about felon gun ownership after they are out of prison?
