Yeah, the seat was created. But it doesn't actually say why or why prisoners were given the vote. That's my issue here: WHY. What is the actual justification?

- frosted-flakes 5y agoThey're not being lumped in with non-prisoner residents.
- LatteLazy 5y agoAren't they? Isn't their rep part of a council of reps making decisions for the wider area? Sorry if I'm being dumb, I thought they were licking 1 rep to send to a government, not 1 rep to run that area...

The particular seat at issue is not (its a rep to a non-decision-making advisory body, the decision-making bodies it advises are D.C. and Federal bodies), though since D.C. is apparently ending disenfranchisement of the currently-incarcerated entirely, that will be the case in other elections.
