Yes, That's exactly what some mean.
Too bad for them because in all 50 states, felons who have served their time may vote - That's all 50 states. In some states felons must meet certain requirements but most states it's simply that they have served their time and parole requirements, if that applies.
Maine and Vermont allow incarcerated felons to vote.
Though it might pain some, felons also regain their other rights too, with the exception of owning a gun, which is also an injustice.
The idea that guys sit in jail or prison dreaming of the day they can vote is one that makes global warming seem sane.
Nobody is asking any questions about this study which again is completely stupid. I want to know the exact questions asked, the demographic of those asked, were they in jail when asked etc.
Its an issue for the states to decide as it should be. Here in Michigan all that is required is to not be incarcerated on parole or probation which is fine. I personally think the idea of voting in jail or prison is insane but we don’t allow it here.
And as far as the felonies are concerned, the self righteous are tempting fate. Felonies were once generally crimes that a person went out of their way to commit. Now they’re often created crimes like refusing to comply with edicts of the state.
I guess FReepers will happily sign up for Obamacare to avoid becoming a criminal.
