It’s really quite basic. If you want to vote, don’t get yourself convicted of a felony and sentenced to prison. Now I know everyone in prison is really innocent, and the victim of some overzealous prosecutor, but that’s just too bad. No vote for you!

Totally agree – passing ballots around the jailhouse/prison is simply wrong-headed.

If you’re a convicted felon, incarcerated or out of prison, you should lose your right to vote and to run for office – period.
