One more thing.
John Conyers often comments that people who have been covicted of a felony cannot vote in Michigan. This is a blatent LIE. I am a convicted felon and a legal voter. Under Michigan law any legal resident over 18 may vote as long as they are not currently incarcerated, on parole or probation.
Conyers true goal is for prison inmates to vote.
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.
