...ex-felons must complete a detailed application, submit proof that court costs are being paid, and request a criminal history check. Of the 14,350 felons who have completed sentences since 2011, only a few have applied.

There is a procedure in place. Too bad if a convicted felon cannot take the time out of his busy day to apply for reinstatement.

Iowa allows felons to petition the governor for restoration of rights. I recall Governor Ray approving several of these applications.

Then I'm sure as many felons as they can find will have the opportunity to be escorted to get whatever they need, helped with voting applications as well as voting registration, promised free stuff and a chicken dinner.
