Guest Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 There is nothing besides treason that should void your right to vote. I even think the presently incarcerated should be able to vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentbob Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 So is the whole state just barred from voting now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massdriver Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Ridiculous bullshit. Criminal justice reform organizations will hopefully take notice and make sure they cover themselves better with future ballot initiatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewhyteboar Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 This is what happens when you elect Republicans -- they do everything in their power to make their city, state, or country worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinIon Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I'm glad this has been overturned, I can see SCOTUS going either way. I still find it kind of extraordinary that Amendment 4 was passed in the first place, and it sure does seem like preventing people from voting before they pay up violates the principle of the amendment.
