If they have done the time and have gone through the restoration of rights process, yes.

My original numbers were off.
Most states allow the natural return of voting rights after parole, probation, etc.
12 states still have a “permanant” restriction.
This used to be the standard, but the states began to diverge ove the past 40 years.

I think it should be clearly delineated by what kind of felonies.
Mine was drunk driving which is a charge that has gotten easier and easier to get over the years. A lot of felonies are the same way.
Voting in prision is just plain idiotic but no more so than the idiocy of those who think any crime should be punished forever.

Here’s a real shocker from Wiki on the judge who wrote the opinion:
In 1980, President Jimmy Carter nominated Tashima to a seat on the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Tashima served for fifteen years on the district court before he was then elevated by President Bill Clinton to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in 1996. Tashima assumed senior status on June 30, 2004.
