I accidentally clicked on this thread. I haven't taken time to read the entire thing, but Logan, from what I understand, it's only felons that can't vote. If you are convicted of a felony crime, you can't vote for the rest of your life. However, a lot of crimes are not felons - just petty crimes I guess - so those prisoners don't loose their voting rights.....from what I understand.

They are also talking about reversing the felony thing. If you've done your time and paid for your crime, you should be able to go back into society as full blown member with all the rights afforded to a regular citizen. Don't know if I agree with that, but just wanted to throw that out there for you all to chew on too.

Ok, back to your regularly scheduled debate.
