(26,272 posts)The fact the repigs are defending it should tell you all you need to know.
Like I said, I couldn't give a dusty fuck about a handful of people who "aren't supposed to vote" voting. Not when it means 200,000 other people who paid their debt to society get to vote.
The idea people need to spend time and money to restore voting rights is redicoulous and only meant to keep a thumb on the election scales. We saw how the repigs in Florida 2000 leveraged this rascist policy to put their thumb on the scale to disenfranchise minorities.
For every worse case scenario the repigs come up with, there are likely literally thousands of otherwise worthy people that will be allowed to vote.
What's the worse case here? Someone casts a ballot? Give me a break.
