I agree - and those who have completed their prison terms should be allowed to re-register to vote .. while I also agree that those who are currently imprisoned should not be allowed that priviledge.
And I believe .. Boxer/Clinton have already submitted legislation to do just that - allow incarcerated felons vote.
I get pretty irritated by some of the felon voting threads here sometimes. They tend to be heavily populated by people who don't know what they're talking about. In the end those people will only help Hillary because they're uneducated about the real issue.
When I was committing my crimes voting was the last thing I cared about. When I cleaned up my act I became conservative and got registered and have voted almost exclusively republican. I think most of the other freeper felons are much the same way.
A prison inmate on the other hand will vote simply for a change of pace for a day and there is little doubt that they will vote for the candidate most likely to release them early.
Most disgusting are the freepers who have said that I should be stripped of all of my rights for good because I'm a felon who can't be trusted. Seems a little harsh for past drunk driving arrests to me. This is especially true coming from people who brag about their drinking prowess.
