People shouldn’t lose voting for convictions because, ‘you posted you like Trump and now your a convicted felon.’ Politicians make the laws and can make anyone a felon

The Democrat Party Crime Families and The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate want felons to vote.

Birds of a feather flock together.

because the Alabama Constitution prohibits new election laws from taking effect within six months of the general election.

Sounds like a cut and dry ruling no matter how you stand. If the constitution says this, then it doesn’t seem to me to be based on how you stand on the underlying issue.

I remember the last time the Democrats pushed hard to get felons to vote. Back then you’d have people who claimed to be ex-cons calling into talk radio and telling everyone how they plan to vote Republican.

One has to give the Democrats credit, they are REALLY GOOD at Gaslighting (as we also see now with Ukraine, LOL)!

A violent crime offender felon shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

Imagine what the government’s JaySix Jug**** fiasco did to the number of Republicans who can vote while the far-left BLM criminals get off scot free. That’s booschidt.

If someone is convicted of a felony, and is then released from prison at some point, doesn’t that release seem to indicate that they are no longer a threat to society? All of their rights should be restored at that point. If someone is such a great threat to society, then they should not be released at all. Nobody argues the point of people in prison can’t vote, can’t own a gun, etc. But this eternal punishment thing has got to go by the wayside. I believe that the Supreme Court recently overruled a federal law that prohibited all felons from ever purchasing a firearm for the rest of their lives, and indicated that only people who have been convicted of violent felonies, were subject to that particular restriction. If it applies to gun rights, it should also apply to voting rights. That is, if we are going to be even modestly, consistent and applying various civil rights laws to the population.

Oh, and I am not a felon, nor is anybody among my family, friends or acquaintances.

Anyone who has completed their sentence, including fines, court fees, probation, parole, restitution, etc. should have ALL rights restored. In cases where it is appropriate, the sentence could include lifetime probation or parole, which by definition could never be completed. Who decides when it’s appropriate, you may ask. Congress writes the laws, and judges do the sentencing.
