Just felons, not anybody who's been convicted of a crime. Not justifying it, just making the distinction. I still believe it's wrong.
- dkdk8283 7y agoThe felony bar gets lower and lower: it’s not hard to get anymore.
- tssva 7y agoFelons not being able to vote is not universal. It is up to each state to determine whether to allow felons to vote. In recent years restoration of voting rights to felons has been on the rise.
- nkrisc 7y agoAn important clarification, which furthers my point that "convicts can't vote" is pretty inaccurate.
