well i was talking about a federal felony conviction, not a state conviction. so it is my understanding that a federal felony prevents a person from voting, it trumps state law in this matter. i could be mistaken, but that is what i was lead to believe upon my release from federal prison.
aside from the fact that this was a discussion based upon opinions of how people felt about allowing ex-felons to vote and the manipulation of a candidate in this matter, and not a debate on what is or is not allowed by individual states, keep in mind that it is unreasonable to develop an attitude towards someone due to the failure to read one particular article out of how many millions of articles that are located somewhere in internet-land? if you wish to draw attention to it then post it and we will read it.
