As for felons not being able to vote, that is not true in all states.
Forty-eight states currently restrict the right of felons to vote.
Most states forbid current inmates to vote, others extend such bans to
parolees, and still others disenfranchise felons for life.

TWO states disenfranchise felons for life: Virginia and Kentucky. Two allow prisoners to
vote: Maine and Vermont. The other 46 restore voting rights upon release from prison or
when parole expires.
