This particular law isn't the big problem; although it does open up a lot of opportunities for vote fraud, our real worry is the move to allow actually incarcerated felons to vote - and that, of course, is what Right to Vote really wants; as they say on their website, they wish to "Remove barriers to voting for citizens with felony convictions"...no mention of "after they have completed their sentence. What they want, boiled down, is for the United States to "benefit" from the considered wisdom and votes of child molestors, rapists, murderers; what we have to do is make such criminals the poster-boys of Right to Vote.

They'll be pitching it in public as only a means of restoring rights to people who have "paid their debt" to society - so we'll have to point out that "removing barriers" to criminal votes means that all sorts of people who have forever forfeited their rights will get to vote.

This is against the constitution. How can you overturn the U.S. Constitution? This must be stopped, because it is illegal.

Bushbacker: How is it unconstitutional? The Constitution says that states can disfranchise crminals, not that they have to.

This ruling apparently overrules current law which states that a convicted felon cannot vote until 10 years after serving their sentence. I see nothing wrong with that, so long as the ex-felon serves their complete sentence and is an upstanding citizen without any violations during those 10 years back in society.

But this ruling and the effort to allow convicted felons still in incarceration to vote is ridiculous.
