Felony means an act evil in itself, regardless of circumstance. Those convicted of such acts are denied the vote bec. they've shown their inability to make simple moral choices. Founders insisted a moral people was necessary for this republic to work. It's good law.

I am going to just throw this out. There is no “right to vote” in the US Constitution.

If you let a piece of paper from over 200 years ago be the sole dictator of your own moral code...

It has nothing to do with my moral code. I am simply stating a fact.

No one should be falsely convicted; but those accurately convicted of felonies - not minor offenses - should not exercise any form of decision power affecting the rest of us. Bernie Madoff should not vote.

.
There are these things called consequences and this is one of them.
