 People in civilized lands do not take away voting rights just because someone breaks the law. You may vote while in jail, while in prison, on parole. All states should allow all their citizens to vote. None of this, "Am I allowed to vote or not?"

 "There is nothing more dangerous than to build a society with a large segment of people in that society who feel that they have no stake in it; who feel that that have nothing to lose. People who have stake in their society, protect that society, but when they don't have it, they unconsciously want to destroy it."

- Martin Luther King Jr.

 See this today with Zoomers and Millennials never being able to buy a house. Little point in caring about society when you’ve got nothing tying you to it and are effectively a tourist in your own place.
