Voting Rights: Ex-Felons

     This week I read the article Restoring voting rights to ex-felons by Myrna Perez. Putting two and two together I'm sure you could guess what the article was about. The main idea is ex-felons should be able to vote. One idea I found interesting was that 65% of Floridians voted to restore voting rights. This is interesting because Florida is a primarily conservative state. Not to stereotype, but conservatives aren't usually nonchalant when it comes to rehabilitating and allowing different groups with troubled back rounds to vote. Learning more about this topic made me wonder if ex cons could vote in New Hampshire. According to the article I googled, Convicted Felons can vote in NH. However, felons can't vote during their actual incarceration... obviously. 

Thanks for tuning in to learn about my perspectives!

  1. This is a good start, Lily. Try to develop your ideas about this topic more. Do you think it makes sense for felons to get voting rights back?

    Your point about Florida voting to restore voting rights being surprising is a good point, one you might have investigated a bit more.
