Topic	The moral of the story: let felons vote

They did their time and are supposed to be rehabilitated back into society, why withhold citizenry rights? And hell, I think that currently serving convicts should be allowed to vote still as well. They're still citizens. I'm okay with current prisoners losing that right. However, having felons prevented from voting after serving their sentence is counterproductive. We want them to reintegrate and have a stake in society. <cite>NeoShadowhen posted [p:892115187] in The moral ...
