Many states have a process whereby a felon can petition to have their rights restored. Tennessee is one such state, and the democrats are the ones who push to get their rights restored. I really don't have a problem with it, when the felon has 1 conviction. They have supposedly paid their debt. If they get convicted a second time, I say no more.
