"felon" is so arbitary that I cannot support the loss of voting rights for felons. We're all only one bolshevik hate speech law or one bad-attitude bent cop away from being felons ourselves.

kids should be their parents responsibility until they're either 21 or fully self-supporting, they can try to influence how their parents vote until they're developed enough to have their own vote, so they're still part of the process.

Good points. Felony is pretty meaningless with our insane laws. Perhaps just murderers/rapists/pedos/etc should be excluded.

as long as the courts are so damn corrupt you can't assume someone is a criminal unless you saw them commit the crime. Being able to divide society into the safe well behaved part and the chaotic violent part based nupon "has he got a record" is something we can no longer do.
