it makes good sense to remove certain rights from criminals. It is good that felons are barred from owning guns, for example. And it is arguably good to keep sex offenders away from areas in which children congregate. But revoking the right to vote creates a second class of citizens and gives no incentive to criminals to reform: they are forever unable to vote. But letting citizens vote is one of the things that makes this country so great. How can it serve anybody's purposes to revoke this right from people who have repaid their debt to society
if they been in prison twice they do not have a right to vote at all they gave it all up when they went to prison for the second time in they go to prison the thrid time they are a 3 time loser they never ever learn cause they only know to live from the in side out there home is the prison they grew up at in learn the hard knocks of life cause every body on the out side treats them all like crap in as in if they have a diease in you can catch it they are human beings just like every body else on the out side

I think it depends on the felon, they would not all vote one way.

I guess Larry Craig, Ollie North, Duke Cunningham, and Illinois governor George Ryan will vote Republican.

I'd vote Republican. Democrats are always making more laws. I'd probably get nailed for smoking too close to earth and be tossed in jail. Or passing gas and violating green house emissions. You never know.

Considering the background of thousands of felons I have known, most wouldn't bother to vote or educate themselves about the candidates.

What makes you think they would vote at all? Let's face it they weren't the best of citizens to begin with do you really think they will have changed their stripes? There would be a small incremental increase due to their voting but not much.

Neither republicans or democrats have done anything to improve the conditions in which criminals are incarcerated. I doubt an ex-offender would be inclined to vote for either party.

I doubt they would bother. They would probably be ready to do another offense after being released from the criminal training camp (ie. prison).

it depends on how you look at it. they are people, and its just like a group of 50 people. one third would be Republican, one third would be Democrat, and the other third would be either independent, or in an off party.
