This is a wonderful initiative that I truly hope passes. Once a person has paid their debt to society of course they should be allowed to participate in our democracy. Not to mention how it will empower all those unfairly or unjustly convicted.

I’m glad you want murderers, rapists, and thieves to have the ability to dictate how my life is ran.

Oh good so just thieves, arsonists, prostitutes, heroin dealers, smugglers, and people who hit others with their car. Sounds like a great group of people to make decisions about my life.

I guess it boils down to whether you think voting is a right or a privilege. I think it's a human right because democratic systems are supposed to represent their citizens; I believe felons should be restored that right once they've served their sentence, because >>

The perspective of someone who is a felon but has proved they've been redeemed into society is just as valid as anyone else's.

Actually it doesn’t boil down to whether I think voting is a right or a privilege. Part of your sentence is have your voting rights taken away, it is part of your punishment. Do I think people can redeem themselves, yes.

But they don’t, 76.6 of convicted felons get re-arrested. The recidivism rate for male felons is 65.9%, and for female felons it’s 53.6%.
