Nadya Suleman: Do Women REALLY Have the Right to CHOOSE?: CAN Ex-felons/parolees/inmates VOTE?

During this voting season, many may be wondering about their right to vote if they had committed a crime in the past. Let's be frank, we are not advocating criminal activities but the truth needs to get out.According to "The Sentencing Project" conducted by the Human Rights Watch. There are many misconceptions about disenfranchisement laws . Now disenfranchisement is when a person has their right or privilege to vote taken away. What many don't know is that disenfranchisement laws vary from state to state. So we have included a list of states and their rules.Most remarkably, in fourteen states, ex-offenders who have fully served their sentences nonetheless remain disenfranchised. Ten of these states disenfranchise ex-felons for life: Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, Nevada, New Mexico, Virginia, and Wyoming. Arizona and Maryland disenfranchise permanently those convicted of a second felony; and Tennessee and Washington disenfranchise permanently those convicted prior to 1986 and 1984, respectively. In addition, in Texas, a convicted felon’s right to vote is not restored until two years after discharge from prison, probation or parole.
Table 1 provides a state-by-state breakdown of state disenfranchisement provisions. Four states (Maine, Massachusetts, Utah, Vermont) do not disenfranchise convicted felons. Forty-six states and the District of Columbia have disenfranchisement laws that deprive convicted offenders of the right to vote while they are in prison. In thirty-two states, convicted offenders may not vote while they are on parole, and twenty-nine of these states disenfranchise offenders on probation.I have included a table from The Human Rights Watch for extra clarification
