I would agree. The constitutional mandate is for the right to vote. I think about this: there is no right to a home,medical coverage, car, horse, etc. Life, liberty, firearms, and voting are protected. Granted felony crime is a serious anti social behavior that needs correction. Never to vote again seems excessive.

If voting mattered, they wouldn’t let you do it.

There was no "right to vote" until the 15th Amendment came along.

I think you'd be surprised at the stupid and trivial things that are now considered "felonies".

If your freedom of movement is not being restricted (i.e., you are in prison), the government has no legitimate power to remove rights you were born with.

Amendment 14, Section 2:
except for participation in rebellion, or other crime

Clearly it is in the hands of the state legislature.
