Not every felon lives in the state of Washington. And after yet another quick Google search, twelve states permanently revoke your right to vote once you're convicted of (or admit to?) a felony. That means they may not vote for the remainder of their lives.
And what's this "couching in terms of opinion" crap? Where did I opine about this?
- mpyne 14y ago12 out of 50 states? So you're saying (now) that he had better-than-average odds of being able to get his right to vote back even if he randomly picked a state to live in? My point about opinion was that you stated as a bare fact that his right to vote would be taken from him as a felon, which was not true (even if only 1 state gave felons the right to vote, he could move to that state when he's out). Having a felon status is annoying in enough actual ways that you shouldn't have to make stuff up or state unchecked assumptions as fact.

He had basically zero chance of having his rights restored. The only way to have your rights restored after a Federal felony conviction is by way of a Presidential pardon. Unlike the states, the Federal government has no other process in place for this.
