the argument i’ve seen from some candidates is that some people are in prison for reasons other than “unjust laws."
What's the reason NOT to let incarcerated people vote? Shouldn't the people most affected by unjust laws have some say in electing people to change them?

Are you implying that the Boston marathon bomber was unjustly incarcerated? As that was the explict question that prompted this?
-
He is saying that the Boston bomber shouldn’t be the reason that thousands of other unjustly incarcerated people don’t get to vote. They (and you) are just using him as a red herring to keep the unjustly incarcerated’s votes suppressed.

The people most affected by unjust laws? Funny that you would champion for criminals and assume their innocence even after they were tried but Trump is guilty even after a 2 year investigation that cleared him of collusion and obstruction. Your party needs criminal votes to win.
-
He isn't cleared of obstruction. You must have reading comprehension problems because the
#MuellerReport clearly states he obstructed several times. And the@GOP are the ones that can't win without cheating.

They’re incarcerated! It’s a punishment! The whole point of prison is to lose one’s ‘rights’ until their sentence is complete. Not rocket science.

I'm about as left leaning as possible and I don't think that people incarcerated should have the right to vote until they have completed their sentence. Once out, then their right to vote should be restored. Why is that wrong?

A vast majority of incarcerated people have been convicted by just laws.

It is the notion of breaking the social contract. If you break a law and institute another, why should we obey the laws *you* institute? This is why you obey even unjust laws.

Why is it that the default assumption is that most people in prison are there unjustly?
-
It's not. The assumption is that there are people affected by unjust laws in prison.
