A democratically elected government who deliberately Left some people out. That's not a democratic election. There's a left wing, there's a right wing, and then there's those people who sit beneath the white house.
A felony conviction should be reserved for those people who use their freedoms to infringe on the freedoms of others. Using a weapon in an armed robbery or mugging is one if those infringements. Buying up land around another persons home to box them in is entrapment which is also an infringement on a a citizens right of way.
Felons should still be heard just so we know what their intentions are. A person smoking weed or having sex with animals is not infringing on anyone's rights and should not be subject to losing their own rights otherwise this would be enabling those people who do infringe on people's rights to have free run of the country.
If you don't want felons running the country, don't let the felons without a felony conviction run it either.
Christian Clark
Too many people following the letter of the law while disrespecting the spirit of the law. If people are disrespecting the intended purpose of the felony, then the felony is a crime on itself.
american people have a long history of voting against their self interest. why would felons be any different?
Xavier James
The difference is then everyone would be voting against their self interest, which is something that has not been tried before. I have a feeling that if everybody does it, there is nobody left to contrast it and that would not be in the interest of the wrong decisions.
Jaxon Cooper
have you paid attention to the past century of america existing, let alone the past 2 years?
Hunter Phillips
When felons get out of prison, they find themselves with a skewed set of rights, but most prominent is that they found themseleves no longer subject to the constitutional right to no taxation without representation. So the government is quite happy to levy the usual set of taxes against ex-cons who can't vote but this is unconstitutional. So yes, I support the restoration of voting rights to tax-paying ex-cons
Wyatt Adams
Why? Trump just signed a Justice Reform bill…
Nicholas Nguyen
Yes I have. There are people who vote, people who choose not to vote, and people who are not allowed to vote. As long as the people who vote have a reason to increase the number of people who are not allowed to vote, then the people who vote will continue to vote against their own self interest. They are misappropriating their resources.
Adam Martin
My bad. I mean misappropriating public resources, which is much more serious than misappropriating their own resources.
