> Now, wait just a doggone second there! "Potential felons"???? Doesn't that
> include just about everybody, when you stop to think of it (especially with
> state and federal governments making new laws which you're probably
> violating right now without knowing it)?
>
> I have a sneaking suspicion that preventing ex-cons from voting just might
> not be constitutional, but even if it is, then there are records somewhere
> showing who did, and who did not commit a felony, which he/she was convicted
> of, which would disqualify one from voting. Seems to me that if these
> records aren't reliable, there are reasons or that.
>
> 1.) The people keeping these records are incompetent.
>
> 2.) The whole thing is done just for show, to keep "undesirables" from
> voting. Note that in the 2000 elections, both sides seem to have been guilty
> of this, the right trying to keep "felons" from voting and the left trying
> to keep votes from our troops overseas from being counted. Now, me, I'm in
> favor of option 3.
>
> 3.) Generous helpings of both options 1 and 2 above. If you're going to use
> felon records to keep felons from voting, you'd better keep up-to-date
> records, you will be challenged on this point. If the whole thing is just
> politics, then you'd better discard the idea because it stinks to high
> heaven. (Hmmmm, didn't we go through this a century ago when the Democrats
> were pulling shenanigans to keep blacks from voting, because at that time
> blacks would probably vote Republican??? Can't have things like that
> happening, now can we???)
