huh? which states are those? You'd think CA would be one of them.
Currently, 46 states prohibit prisoners serving a felony sentence from voting. (The four states that permit inmates to vote are Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont.) In addition, 32 states deny the vote to persons on probation and/or parole, and in 14 states a felony conviction *can* result in disenfranchisement for life. Voting in federal elections is determined by the voting laws in place in one's state of residence.
