most paroles systems have designations as to types of discharges when you finish parole. Like honorable and less that honorable.
I have no problem I’m someone does their time and h\gets an honorable discharge being allowed to vote again. They had literally “paid for their crime.”

Like I said earlier, if the punishment at the time of the crime included NEVER being allowed to vote again, then the only way for the criminal to fully ‘pay for their crime’ is to never vote again. Otherwise it’s really no different than changing the sentence of a murder from Death Row, to 10 years in jail. At the time the murder was committed, the punishment was execution...but now a judge determines that he ‘paid for his crime’ by being locked up for 10 years (which, I agree, is no fun), and then sets him loose, based on that. If the person did the killing knowing he could be executed, he deserves THAT PUNISHMENT, otherwise no one will seriously consider the risk involved before committing similar crimes.
