  Entirely fair 😅

  I want to believe in the process of our law but you’re right; between that and the blatant corruption within the Supreme Court and other elected offices…

  Absolutely the people should be able to elect a felon. This is how the law should absolutely work. Imagine how bad it would be if they could just remove political rivals by getting the justice department to catch them in some bs felony, or even frame them for something. The real travesty is that we allow the state to remove the right to vote for a felony conviction.

      Sure, absolutely. Which is part of the reason I think it’s bad to give the justice department this kind of power.

    By those ideals, prisoners should also have the right to vote.

      100%

      If there are enough prisoners that they would create a large enough voting bloc that they could get someone elected, then that means there is something fucked up with the legal system. If there aren’t that many, then what’s the big deal allowing them to vote?
