Over the course of a single year in the United States, over 10 million people are incarcerated. TEN MILLION. That’s twice as much as any other nation in the world. At the root of mass incarceration is voter suppression. Always has been.
So yes, Maine & Vermont are right to ensure all citizens, including incarcerated citizens, have the right to vote. At the root of this discussion is the reality that most public officials don’t view incarcerated men & women as fully human (or fully American).
You don’t get to choose who has the right to vote based on how much you love or hate them. To bring up Dylann Roof up in the argument against voting rights is a ruse to distract from the larger argument that stripping voting rights while incarcerated harms Black people the most.
15th amendment stuff right there 
My dude @shaunking the biggest point you missing is all the poc who are force to take plea deals who would’ve been offer probation if they were able to afford a lawyer or bail and not to mention all the kids that are Tried as men who become men and can’t vote because of the 1/2
Mistake they committed as kids but I bet you one thing for sure
@shaunking
Pete is ok with all these inmates that are force to work for 15cents an (link: http://hr.How ) http://hr.How bout those inmate that were fighting the California wildfires for $1 an hr
In ME you can register to vote while in prison as well.
As a Mainer I can assure folks that recognizing the right of incarcerated people to vote (as it has done quietly without controversy for a LONG time)has not led to the decline and fall of civil society in Maine. Just sayin ‘.
For murder I say no they don't !
Oh that's a great idea! Let's give ALL of an incarcerated felon's rights back! If there's no reason to revoke their voting rights, there's no reason to revoke their gun rights, or allow warrantless searches and seizures of their cells, etc.
Sorry I can’t think that way. There’s no benefit to never having gone to prison except of course not being locked up for a time.
