Yes, but only after they serve their time.
@9GYSNHD1yr1Y
No, we don't want felons deciding how our country should be run. If they wanted rights they would not have to take rights away from others.
@9D4YF47Libertarian2yrs2Y
Yes, but only after they served their time. Prisoners should not be allowed to vote.
