Hey Bartender, it's almost like people know that they'll lose the right to vote if caught, and they're willing to pay that price.
I dunno how i feel about this issue. In the ideal world, when you are convicted of a crime, you go to prison to remove you from society until it is felt you can be reintegrated safely. Now, US prisons aint that, theyre all about punishment.
But in the ideal case, being able to vote is a privilege of being part of society, much like freedom of movement, ability to be a consumer, etc.
Now once you've served your time? You absolute should have all your rights restored.
Mr. Argumentor
I fab shitboxes and shitbox accessories.
I don't think I agree with that. You should go to prison to be rehabilitated and reintegrated to society. That's how they should work. That's how things should happen. Part of that 100% should be being involved with politics and what is going on within your world. Recidivism happens, in part, because people get out of prison and have no clue how the world works afterwards.
However, as you say, that's not how our prisons work. Which is why we need reform and need to change how we look at them.
As is said above, I have no issues with someone that is a non-violent offender being able to vote.

Shitty actor. Shittiest Superman.
Trump can try all he wants to clean up those statements after two years by taking them out of context, but a lot of us heard or saw it live. He was out of control and lost his words. They got loose. He’s a piece of shit.
another win for the anti-trump curse
That guy has barely been hanging on to a MLB career his entire adult life.
He also has legal troubles and is somewhat nutty. I’m surprised he isn’t a full on MAGA fuckstick.
I bet he's a nazi.
