Tmaster148 05/12/23 10:31:51 AM #4:	No one should ever lose the right to vote. Doesn't matter if you killed someone or not.

Damn_Underscore 05/12/23 10:33:37 AM #6:	Once their sentence is over they can vote again, applies to everyone. I think your argument is totally reasonable, though. Actually I don't know if you are talking about currently convicted felons or formerly convicted felons --- Why should we wait for some better time?

ZMythos 05/12/23 10:35:03 AM #8:	Even murderers should not lose the vote. 1) False murder convictions will always be a possibility, and could be weaponized to disenfranchise (certain groups of) people. 2) Murderers can/have/will rehabilitate and reintegrate into society after atoning for their crimes. 3) What exactly would denying their vote accomplish? It's not like "make murder legal" is on the ballot. --- Rainbow Dashing: "it's just star wars" AutumnEspirit: kissu <cite>ZMythos posted [p:973424355] in Should non...

People in prison deserve a voice just as well, because frankly the state of prisons in the US is awful.

Treason is a valid reason for state-sanctioned death, imo. Inciting an insurrection to overthrow the government falls hand in hand with treason, so see above. I could see voted fraud being fair for losing your right to vote. You're not taking someone's voice, but by voting multiple times you're effectively nullifying someone's voice. --- The name is wackyteen for a reason.
