Actually, no.
Senator Harry Reid, one of the three sponsors of the amendment, said on the floor of the Senate, Basically what this amendment does is ensure that ex-felons, people who have fully served their sentences, have completed their probation, have completed their parole, should not be denied their right to vote.
Sure, they can APPLY if they want, but they can’t be DENIED.
well hey...if Harry Reid said it, then it MUST accurately represent what Santorum’s position is! sheesh.....
