    Don't you know that prisoners in some States (Vermont & Maine) can vote? So why won't the other States join them and permit citizens to participate in the nations political affairs as voters?

    Heck, 21 countries allow prisoners to vote = https://jackpineradicals.com/boards...-prisoners-felons-to-vote-while-incarcerated/

    Isn't it time for America to join the 21st Century? It has always been against letting people vote but Jim Crow is so last century.

    You only say that because the scum of society, the gutter dwellers who would kill you in a instant, the people who would blow up everyone who doesn’t agree with their religion, etc, vote for liberals.

    Look at who the left is pandering to for votes.

    Translation.... we should have a conversation about whether elections are even necessary.... lets just ban the Republican party and let the Democrats decide who will run the country.

    Think of where the country will be if they are not stopped. They are criminals. Literally.

    Great idea letting inmates vote.

    Hopefully this legislation can be fast tracked in PA, MI, and WI in time for 2020.

    Great idea. Let the inmates vote.:salute:

    So, you want stupid people to vote? I guess that's the only way Democrats get elected.

    Democrats wouldn't be so interested in restoring voting privileges to rapists, murderers, child molesters, terrorists, drug dealers, and alike if they weren't convinced that those people would largely be voting Democrat. That says something.

    WATCH: Kamala Harris Changes Tune About Letting Terrorists Vote In Less Than 1 Day

    Democrat presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) changed her tune about letting convicted terrorists vote less than 24 hours after being asked the question during a CNN town hall on Monday night.

    ...This is not the first time that Harris has completely changed her stance on an issue following a CNN town hall event.

    https://www.dailywire.com/news/46353/watch-kamala-harris-changes-tune-about-letting-ryan-saavedra

    Welp, that didn't take long.

    Kamala is all over the map.

    I'm all for giving a persons voting rights back to them once they've served their time as your freedoms (including you ability to own a firearm) should be restored. However, the point of prison is your freedoms and rights are taken away as you violated other peoples rights. That should also include voting.

    I remember reading that.

    Bernie's life as a young adult is some what comical.

    When Bernie was broke which was most of the time and was hungry and needed a shower he would protest something by sitting in the streets wanting to get arrested so he could get three meals and a shower in the county jail.

    I'm not surprised the left believes they appeal to criminals.

    Many states already allow felons to vote. What impact would it have? To suggest that all felons vote or would vote Democrat is patently absurd, of course.

    Being the party of racist conspiracy theorists will not get you far. It only worked in 2016 thanks to all that Russian assistance in trashing Hillary. Enough people were discouraged from voting for her, or voting at all, for Trump to eke out an electoral college win.

    Bahh.... Kamala is simply punting that issue to another day. Bernie seems to be the one who's adamant about letting currently incarcerated persons have the vote, which i fully disagree with. However, like the great majority of your other rights, once you are released, your voting rights need to AUTOMATICALLY be restored, without any hoops to jump through...

    Of course, that concept needs to be paired with the ridiculous incarceration rates for minor issues in this country to begin with. I THINK that's the conversation Kamala really wants to have....

    The impact would potentially be millions of votes, and 70% (if not more) would vote democrat.

    Jail survey: 7 in 10 felons register as Democrats
    https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/jail-survey-7-in-10-felons-register-as-democrats


    So its all a sham to get votes-and even Kamala Akbar is dialing it back.

    I get so sick and tired of Democrats and Liberals when asked direct questions about their positions and they know they are stuck reverting to the "well we need to have a conversation about ......" dodge. I don't vote for people to talk about things I vote for them to DO THINGS and they should know the issues before they ask me to vote for them.

    SHE brought it up, and then backtracked less than 24 hours later. (after Bernie started getting flack for the same position)

    To be clear, the topic is not referring to a convicted felon who has served their sentence-but rather for violent felons, up to and including terrorists-being able to vote WHILE incarcerated.
