Provide citations for your contention. PROVE it. Where are the cites of applicable laws??? Could it be that there are none because you are pulling all this out of your butt? Where’s the PROOF?

"Where’s the PROOF? "

Here's some evidence.

"Criminal disenfranchisement has its roots in the punishment of 'civil death,' imposed for criminal offences under Greek, Roman, Germanic and later Anglo-Saxon law. English law developed the related punishment of attainder which resulted in forfeiture of all property, inability to inherit or devise property, and loss of all civil rights. These principles were transplanted to the British colonies which later became Canada and the United States."
