Felons almost invariably vote D.
Fact.
Fact.

I’m a Probation and Parole Officer of 36 years. I can assure you that criminals have political views just like we do. Many of them are just as conservative as us.
I really think that is they have paid their debt to society, they should have their rights reinstated. It’s wrong to stigmatize a person for life over an incident. If they commit more crimes, they will get more incarceration and P&P time and not be able to vote.
I would exclude sex offenders from that.

They don't have a Legislature?

after contending with my predecessor’s efforts to deny Virginians their fundamental rights — we have restored the rights of more than 66,000 Virginians who have served their time.

Well this was fricking dumb too just in a different way

It is only fair given that DJT still gets to.

Their rights to serve on a jury, run for public office, and become a notary public were also restored under Spanberger’s direction.
It is my understanding that if all other rights are restored, gun rights are automatically restored as well.

Not necessarily true. And, felons should have their voting rights restored.
If you are a felon who are you voting for? Probably the party who believes in no consequences for your crimes. If so those are Democrats.

Why should someone get rights back after they know potential consequences?
People can’t vote while they are incarcerated, even pre-trial. Should that mean that no one who has ever been arrested should get to vote ever again? Anyone convicted of any crime should never get to vote?
If you don’t believe people should vote unless they meet your own narrow criteria, just make that argument. Let freedom ring.
Again, your president is a convicted felon. You are advocating for his permanent disenfranchisement.

So now your argument is that only people who vote for Republicans should be allowed to vote? What if that voter is a felon?

Gary Plauche is a felon. I and most others would say that it was worth it.

You can’t let them vote while incarcerated, or you’d have some insane election outcomes in counties with large prisons.
Once they have paid their debt to society, I don’t see the big deal.

Replace right to vote with right to bear arms and see how many people here suddenly have a different opinion.

When you say things like this, it shows how much you do not know. You aren't a felon, criminal or any other titles until you have been sentenced. A simple google search can show you that.

So is the right to own firearms. I wonder if the governor is in favor of restoring those rights as well.

Agreed and I have long held that same belief. They’ve done their time.
