If you are not convicted of a crime, you are still a full citizen.....In jail but not convicted, authorities are compelled to let you vote, lest they violate your constitutional rights.

Convicted felons in prison/jail CANNOT vote.....


I think this is a perverse interpretation of the constitution. If I am home sick, is someone compelled to bring me a ballot? I don't think so. If I have good sense, and I am able, I can arrange for an absentee ballot.

Yes, the mass murderer may not have been convicted, but there were eye witnesses. Let him go get his absentee ballot. If he can figure out how to kill many innocent kids, he can surely figure this out. Constitutional rights should not be followed to some silly extreme
