in a nutshell, if a state wishes to reform disenfranchisement, it should happen via legislative action, not "judicial fiat".

Although, I disagree with the legislative meaning, I do not disagree that it needs to be left with the legislature to correct.
In my view, if somebody commits a crime that warrants prison, they should lose their citizenship. They work back to becoming a citizen through procedural means, just like any other legal immigrant.

We’re in the era of lawfare. A two-tiered justice system that prosecutes citizens for their political or religious beliefs.
Will the victims of lawfare have their voting rights restored?

The Constitution does not grant "Rights"!
It is a control on government powers.
There is no Right to vote!
Nowhere in the U.S. Constitution is there an explicit guarantee of the right to vote.
Prior to becoming president of the United States, Barack Obama, as a professor of constitutional law at the University of Chicago, began each of his constitutional law classes stunning his students with the surprising fact that a “citizenship or individual right to vote” is not in the Constitution.
