Felon Voting Rights

In addition, this lawless denial voting is irrational. A man named Jose Montoya was arrested on suspicion of drug abuse. Montoya was imprisoned after entering rehabilitation and changed his life, but when he realized that his felony would stop the voting right, he realized that he was still punished by the full repayment of social debt . . . Felons continues to be one of the last Americans denied voting rights (Flatow, 2014). In addition, as discovered by Jose Montoya, felony criminals are still punishing debts paid by felonists to society (Siegal, 2011).

It seems that Felon's voting rights are superficial. Perhaps you have not thought about this before. If you are thinking about this right now - Should the felons be allowed to vote? - You may think the answer is obvious. Of course, felons should not vote. They commit a felony commitment, violate social contracts with their compatriots, no longer have the privilege of voting as punishment. But is this fair? According to the report of the judgment project, more than 6 million robbed felons have sentenced sentences. They are free men and women. They drove. They possess property. They pay taxes. Yes, they are in violation of the law. But they were punished. Why are they no longer speaking to society?

The process of re-infringement of the voting rights of the felony should be simplified. In Nevada, early reports stated that the impact of restructuring voting rights was small, as the administrative processing requirements are cumbersome. Former felon who applied for voting should have an estimate of the same qualification as other voters. The voting rights must not be political football. There should be bipartisan support to help former felony legislators and state and local election officials gain voting rights. American civil servants and political parties will try to prevent people from voting for their own political interests, American democracy will decline.

One of the things that limits the impact of a felony election before restoring voting rights is that they have particularly low interest rate results. To prove this, we will examine the original felony population who resumed voting rights under Crist and calculate the voting rate in 2016. We discovered that only 16% of blacks and 12% of non-blacks voted before the felony. The possibility of the influence in the election of the Florida voting initiative is further restricted by the political contradiction of former Feron who voted. (Because of data limitations, non-black people are defined as Caucasian, Hispanic, Asian, etc.). The majority of black voters in this population are Democrats (87%), but the non-black voters in this group are more likely to be registered as Republicans (40%) than Democrats (34%). In fact, since 26% of the remaining non-black voters have not contacted either party, their voting suggests that they may not be able to vote for either party.
