      Correct me if I misunderstand, but slavery is legal for prisoners, so I personally don’t quite understand why getting rid of voting rights would help? They are already locked up as slaves when they’re in prison and felons can’t vote anyways, so what would be the point of restricting voting rights for someone who already can’t vote legally as a felon? I’m not saying it’s false at all, but it seems repetitive is all

Literally that’s my crime. Being in a public place and resting
