They the convicted gave up that right when they chose to do the crime. It is the consequence of doing the unjust thing. In 2010, an estimated 5.85 million people in the United States could not vote due to felony restrictions. If felons are going to break the law anyways why should their vote count? If you want to have a say so in society laws, you have to abide by society laws.
