NYT op-ed demands voting rights for felons. Democrats love this.

OK dems, then lets also return gun rights to felons. Hell - gun rights are a constitutional right while voting is not.

Opinion | Florida’s 1.5 Million Missing Voters

jan 2 2018 Today, Florida disenfranchises almost 1.5 million of its citizens, more than 11 states’ populations and roughly a quarter of the more than six million Americans who are unable to vote because of a criminal record.

Felon disenfranchisement is a destructive, pointless policy that hurts not only individuals barred from the ballot box, but American democracy at large. Its post-Civil War versions are explicitly racist, and its modern-day rationales are thin to nonexistent. It can make all the difference in places like Florida, which didn’t stop being competitive in 2000; the state remains a major presidential battleground, and victories for both parties in state and local elections are often narrow.

That could all change if a proposed constitutional amendment gets enough signatures to be placed on the ballot in November and wins enough support. The initiative would automatically restore voting rights to the vast majority of Floridians who have completed their sentence for a felony conviction, including any term of parole or probation.

Criminals and illegals are the dem voting base.

So, Shootspeeders is a Stalinist police state fanatic.

And he knows his corrupt minority party can't win unless it prevents people from voting. That is, he knows he has to cheat, and he's admitting that.

Why are you against allowing people who have served their time - voting?

I'm not. But i'm pointing out that the only reason you want felons to vote is because you know they will vote dem. If you cared about their rights you would also insist their gun rights be restored. Make up your mind, hater.
