"Currently in most states..."

14 out of 50 constitutes most?

"This is because you have committed a serious crime against society."

Do you consider Rush Limbaugh to be a serious criminal that should lose his right to vote?

"Sorry, for felonies, that's the way it's been for a long time."

Except the definition of felony is constantly expanding to increase the revenue generation of the CJ branch of government. What used to be a non-crime or misdemeanor "for a long time" are in many cases felonies today.

The obvious answer to this argument is that the ever-expanding definitions of crimes is yet another problem which has to be fought and won by conservatives. It's the same liberal crowd who is reponsible for both of these failings of an effective criminal justice system. It seems to be that their agenda is to have Government do everything possible, except govern.
