The Left wants this in the worst way. They want people to be able to vote while serving sentences.

Exactly! That's why even though I would like to see ex cons voting again, allowing it is a step towards voting booths, and campaign speeches, in jailhouses.

Don’t know how it is in other states, but in Illinois most state prisons are located in the boondocks. If the prisoners can vote, they out vote the local residents. I discussed this scenario with an Illinois Corrections Officer. The prisoners could vote in an unjailed gang member as sheriff, local DA, mayor, etc. and end up running the town/county.
