How does everyone feel about felon voting rights?


Should they be allowed to vote after they served their time and paid for their crimes???

2. Never understood why the could not. The crooks on Wall Street are allowed to vote.

4. I believe in that quaint notion of being able to have 'paid your debt to society'. So yes, once you're out of jail, the rest of your rights should be restored to you.

except for guns of course.

11. Let them vote even while they're in prison. That's what Vermont does.

Voting is pro-social behavior. Felons should be encouraged to engage in pro-social behavior.

Making them feel disconnected makes them more likely to re-offend.

12. Yes. Many felons are people who are being failed by the current system.

Their voices are important. Necessary.

18. They did their time, so why are they still being punished?

Sounds a lot like class warfare.

25. What about Jared, should he be allowed to vote once he's paid for his crime?

31. I wonder how Ms Clintron feels about this question?

If we are serious about the whole "paid their debt to society" thing, we should restore not only their voting rights but their right to own firearms.

Otherwise its pretty much one strike and you're out.

43. If a felon is a citizen of voting age, s/he should have the right to vote. Debt to society is irrelevant to citizenship anyway. Civic duties don't end because you get arrested, I'll never understand why this isn't obvious.

45. absolutely

Felon or not, they are still citizens. I do not think one should strip somebody of their rights just because they were convicted. The prison time is supposed to be the punition. Similarly, I do not think one should have people on probation for years after they are released. This sets them up for failure and they return to the jail for the most ridiculous reasons (like being late 5 mins to see your probation officer ).

57. Yes. They should never have had their rights taken away in the first place.

If you have sex offenders like Jerry Rivers or Anthony Weiner asking for the felon's vote then yes.
Do you understand that UglyGreed ?
I hope you're a mole and not a real live DUmmie lib.

Really there DUche? So you're saying that there should be no consequences for their actions? That is some weapons-grade stupidity right there. If you weren't so serious,  this might actually be funny.

What if the restoration of their civil rights includes the right to buy guns?

That would obviate those universal background checks they're so hot and bothered to enact.

Are you taking their fun away again by pointing out the shortsightedness of their beliefs ? Along with firearm possession, what about sex offenders ? Why should sex offenders who have served time and have been released be required to live the rest of their lives with a 'Scarlet Letter' - by reporting to sex offender registries ? By informing their neighbors ? Employers ?   

Anyway, DUmbasses - Becoming a felon results in the loss of several things. Its supposed to help deter people from becoming felons in the first place.
