    Behind bars for murder in Maine? You can still vote. Convicted of perjury in Mississippi? You might be permanently barred from the ballot box.https://nyti.ms/2F5gXlh

        Democrats had what was their heart walk out in 2016(blue collar workers). Now that the illegal aliens they had counted on to replace them are being stopped and deported, they now turn to Convicted Felons and Children to save their Socialist/ Communist agenda

        How can the right to vote be decided by state governments? If it’s a right then it’s a right.

        American racism pure and simple. Maine prisons house few convicts of color.

        Voting rights is fat too fundamental to be decided at the state level. A conviction doesn't impair our capacity to choose our representatives. There must be a national debate to address the discrepancies in state laws

        there are black people in Mississippi and very few in Maine; in Mississippi if you black you only need to be accused to lose rights

        Perhaps, if one values voting, one should not commit a felony? That simplifies this issue.
