While you’re incarcerated, you shouldn’t be allowed to vote. When you’ve ‘paid your debt to society’, your voting rights, and ALL other rights should be restored. If you’re such a risk that your rights can’t be restored, then you should stay in prison.
That’s how it should work.
I don’t agree with convicted felons losing their voting rights and the right to keep and bear arms after their sentence is done. If they are so ‘dangerous’ they shouldn’t be able to vote or have a firearm, they should stay in prison. You’re either a free citizen or not.
Yes, but whether one is in a state run prison or for profit prison doesn’t have anything to do with it. He must have been talking to some dumb people.
Clearly states have the constitutional right to revoke the right to vote for commission of a crime.
What about someone convicted of multiple charges of vote fraud?
Are you going to trust them a third or fourth time?
