Elizabeth Robinson, head of the Iowa Board of Parole, said the move puts Iowa in line with the majority of states that recognize when a felon's debt has been paid.

An if they jump off a cliff, are we going to do that also?

In most states one has to petition the government to get voting rights restored. How many actually do so is a matter of conjecture in a country where most people are to freakin' lazy or busy to even go down to town hall and register to vote.

Maine and Massachusetts both allow ex-cons to vote without petitioning the gub'mint and possibly one or two other states.
