Do you think that people with felonies should be able to vote?

Don't they lose their voting rights while in prison? I think once they've "repaid their debt to society" they should have their voting rights restored. I'm not sure that they should be allowed to vote if only out on probation though.

No I don't think that they should be allowed to vote. I do think that they should be aloud to work and go to college and get financial aid.

Really, once they have done their time and paid their pentance back to society, or however you want to say it, I really don't see what the big deal is in keeping them from voting. Not everyone who is convicted of a felony stays a crook the rest of their life. Some just made a mistake down the road. I think their view point regarding their country and government is just as valid as anyone elses.

I think that would be a bit harsh. Our Constitution gives every citizen the right to vote. I guess it could be changed by adding an amendment. If someone is currently in prison, then no, they shouldn't vote. They are not an active part of society. However, when they get out of prison their rights should all be restored to them.

To the best of my knowledge, people with felonies are not allowed to vote, and that's just one of the civic rights and responsibilites lost to a felon.

no they shouldnt be able to vote but they should have the rights to get a job.

I still think that they should be able to vote.. not sure why I feel that way, though.
