I used to work in a mental health clinic in a very poor, rural county with a huge substance abuse problem. The number of people who just automatically assumed they were banned from voting because of a DUI/possession/shoplifting charge was depressing.

I know. I’m a voter Registrar in my area and they train us to convince off-paper felons that they can regain voting rights.
