Felons tend young, poor, and uneducated and adding those together they tend not to vote at all, although you're correct, if they live long enough, get a job, or graduate from school, THEN they'd be in demographic groups that do tend to vote D. Both of you are more or less correct. OP is correct that they don't vote, you are correct that if they were in a higher social class that did vote they'd tend to vote D. Most of the R party complaining about D party enfranchisement of felons is just BAU "must oppose anything my opponent does automatically" not an actual existential threat to the R party.
