The only real one is that it would immediately create a voting bloc of 2.3 million people who potentially would just vote for whoever campaigned on the promise to reduce sentences or change laws to get them out early, which is why some people say they should have to wait until time served.

Not to mention that in a bad enough situation, restricting voting rights for felons can be a stepping stone towards imprisoning people for the wrong reasons to impede their right to vote. If a regime decided that protesting their policies was illegal and anyone who protests for any reason went to jail, that would be one way of putting a dent in the opposition's votes and bolstering your own lead. Ultimately, regardless of the crime, a citizen of the country should have a right to vote. Restricting voting rights of felons is a dangerous step towards putting your political opponents in jail to disadvantage the opposition. It could be argued that with a heightened focus on minority races being convicted of felonies and getting thrown into jail, that process of disenfranchisement is already well underway. It's inhumane and stupid. --- I can feel it in my bones, I'm gonna spend another year alone. Now Playing: Persona 5, Minecraft <cite>MrMallard posted [p:950422407] in Prisoners ...
