I was not commenting on whether it was good or not, just that not all
states do it and how it came to be. My personal belief is that once a
person has done their time and have either been paroled or released
because they've satisfied their sentence, they should be allowed to
vote again.

A couple of questions:

Should they be able to vote if they are in prison awaiting trial?
Should they be able to vote if they are in prison serving time?
Should they be able to vote when they are released, but still under
probation, wearing a leg brace or otherwise not completely free?

And if not, why not?

The idea that only "my kind" should vote is as old as voting.
