Hope this is a wet blanket on the movement to restore felon voting rights.

Hi dogcaller

That's one issue I still don't have a handle on. So many acts are now considered felonies that it's made me re-look at the situation and I still don't have an answer for myself.

Someone who is felon for blowing up an abortion clinic, absolutely take away their right to vote. Some who is a felon because they were handing out literature on alternatives to abortion at an abortion clinic, I'm kinda inclined to let them vote.

In general, I agree with you, but there should be some exceptions, or better yet, only hand out felonies for the truly despicable.

Best Regards

Sergio
