Democrats are pissed that people who moved can't vote in their old precincts anymore.

Who are you to question some ones contribution to society, if they have done their time for non violent drug offenses why shouldn't become a member of society again. And whose to say those convicted were rightfully done so being proven time and time again the JUST US system is flawed. Every year there are multiple stories of those convicted being found innocent after serving 20-30 years

SSgt Ray Stone - Yes, except people wrongfully convicted aren't the ones we are talking about.
Who we are talking about are people who have committed a felony, been convicted through trial or guilty plea, and completed their sentence. I could be wrong, but the bills I have seen on the news regarding this did not stipulate "non-violent" felons.
Virtually every state in the union had a law on the books that a convicted felon abdicates their right to vote. Now some states are reviewing whether to reinstate those rights once the sentence is complete. I think reasonable people can make that case. I just don't agree that it should be a thing. You did your crime. You blew it. Shoulda thought of that when you were mugging some old lady.
As to you first question, who I am is a citizen who is not a felon, therefore I have a seat at the table should my state (Minnesota) consider such a change.

SSgt Ray Stone - If it were up to me, I would establish an application process where the former felon can apply for reinstatement on an individual basis. I do not agree with a blanket suffrage for them, violent or not, without some kind of review.

Hey demoRATS make sure you check all your dead relatives and friends to make sure they are still registered after this!!! Bounce the rolls off the cemetery listing (s) to make sure know one was forgotten.
