Once again, Mr small government states rights ignores the powers reserved to the individual states.

I don’t really disagree with the idea that low level and non-recidivist offenders should not be disenfranchised for life. But it’s none of the Federal Government’s business. The states should resolve that on their own.

“Mr small government states rights ignores the powers reserved to the individual states.”

Not the biggest fan of Rand Paul and definitely do not think criminals should be voting, but I want ALL gubmints to have as little power as possible. State gubmints are the third most evil entities after the UN and the Federal gubmint.

That's not the problem. I would welcome federal legislation to mandate voter ID for example, states have no right to let illegal aliens vote and it would be entirely appropriate for the federal government to protect the civil right of it's citizens by preventing that.

The problem is this bill would be better titled the "The more votes for democrats act". Paul is a retard like his pappy and fellow travelers.
