I believe that once a person has served their sentence or (in the case of a murder conviction or felony sexual assault) has their civil rights restored they should have the same franchise rights as other citizens.

if a moron on meth brained your parents in a home invasion, you might see it differently.

You are very right. But bad cases make bad law. Attempted homicide conviction still carries a rather stiff sentence. But if some DA offered a plea for a lesser charge resulting in an earlier release that would indeed be an abortion of justice. So perhaps the focus should be on why violent offenders are released early and how to prevent that.
