With all due respect to Vermont FReepers, the ill-conceived 17th Amendment gave us Sen. Sanders.

Section 3 of the 14th Amendment discourages the states from allowing criminals to vote imo.

”14th Amendment, Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime [emphases added], the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State."

Remember in November 2020!

MAGA!

Sorry, post 14 should reference 14th Amendment section 2, not section 3.
