Guess if you have enough influence and cash and a sleazy enough lawyer, that your voting rights should stay intact.
David, seems to me that our system of punishment is designed so that, depending on the severity of the offense, the time spent in jail is adjusted accordingly. Since you're proposing a lifetime ban on voting rights no matter what the felony is, guess we may as well just make all felonies require life imprisonment. Obviously anyone ever convicted is a scum for life and there is never an end to their punishment.
Hmm, seems to me then that you'd be for slave reparations to blacks today since the sins of our forefathers can simply never be laid to rest. Once a crime is committed the punishment is forever. Might want to budget accordingly.
Current Events » in reply to Felons should NOT be voting. It used to be that a felony conviction was a PERMANENT disqualification from voting.
