My Latest. Hardcore reforms - some achievable, some experimental, we should be fighting for if we are a democracy.http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/king-ways-create-representative-u-s-democracy-article-1.3320845 …
Reform #4: Restore the voting rights of all former prisoners. They've served their time. Removing their voting rights is preposterous.

I totally agree with this. Once you've served your time you should not lose your right to vote. No ones vote should be taken when a citizen

Prisoners should never lose their voting rights. Period.

100%. This is ridiculous. And it's the reason we lock so many people up, especially black and brown people. Don't disenfranchise!

It totally defeats the purpose of incarceration if one doesn’t have their rights fully restored.

laws such as these are simply meant to destroy the minority voice. remove our voices, decrease our choices, increase their control

In Texas, once felons have completed sentence/off paper they get the right to vote. Bush did that in '97. I know. Shocking!

I assume the evil people at the top who make those calls don't want ex-cons using voting power to expose the prison industrial complex
-
And I have 0 idea why a "good" politician or whoever could fix that problem would want ex-cons not to vote like there's no cons to it

Pun intended
