Midterm Elections–Who Can Vote?
Disenfranchised Voters Infographic
Elections have consequences for all of us, but there are Americans, who are not allowed to vote. With midterm elections next week, almost six million Americans are disenfranchised from voting. It does not matter if, the former inmates are again productive members of society, who pay taxes. Only states decide who can vote–not the Federal government. There are states, who do not restore the right to vote even, upon completion of the sentence. Three states allow probationers and parolees the right to vote, and twenty states allow former inmates, the right to vote upon completion of their sentence. It is time to restore the right to vote to all returning citizens, who have completed their sentences.

Mark Reames If you did the crime and did your time and are a taxpaying citizen you should have your right restored, but not while you are on paper,or in prison.

Absolutely Not! Should be part of the punishment. You do the crime you loose your voting rights. We need more punishment for committing a crime not less. The more deterrents the better. Jail alone in not enough incentive.
