As a side note, please provide me with info on the U.S. Constitution or any state constitution for that matter, that calls for the permanent termination of voting rights of anyone who has been convicted of any crime and subsequently served their sentence and been released to society......

You won't find it.......

Is every law contained in every state constitution or the Constitution of the United States? The denial of the vote to convicted felons must not be unconstitutional or surely it would have been successfully challenged by now.

14th amendment section 2

Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.
