The loss of voting priveleges is not written into the statutes for larceny, drug dealing or even murder.

They’re incorporated into separate state statutes...

They're not in the statutes, but they are??? They're public record, accessable to all. Trying to claim that because they're written elsewhere, they shouldn't apply doesn't work. This information is available to all citizens.

By chance, are you a felon? Or, perhaps, a trial lawyer?

Neither, but thanks for trying ;)

I made it clear that they are, indeed, in the statutes. But they're not tied to explicit crimes, just the overall category of "felony". In fact, you quoted it.

My argument is not about wether the law should apply, but wether it should remain. I thought I made that clear, but I'll try to do better.
