    That may be true, I’m not sure on the facts surrounding that. If you have specific sources, I’d be interested in seeing them.

        Fair point, but I think that only applies to felonies (you can generally vote if it’s just a misdemeanor), and most states restore voting rights as soon as they’re released.

        Do other countries allow currently incarcerated people with felonies to vote?

          Yea , that is more a 3rd world country way. Most countries do not remove basic rights besides you freedom when jailing them. Can’t think of any examples actually.
