    I fully support his being eligible to vote, regardless of past convictions, even if they were for treasonous, seditious behavior.

    He should not be eligible to run for office.

    Convicted felons should be eligible to vote, whether in prison or not, because as you said, anyone still affected by politics should have a voice. This also includes children, undocumented immigrants, and resident aliens. Anyone living here is impacted by the choices of our representatives and should therefore be able to vote for those representatives. Physical presence should be the only requirement.
