1. "i think they are basically guaranteed to vote if they registered" In response to In response to 0
i dont know what percentage of ex-felons are actually registering but i guess the numbers are higher than "regular" population.
i dont know how much the needle will be moved and what challenges republicans will throw at them.
i was reading about some changes new mexico was making the other day. i think they were going to make it so that people had to opt out of registering when getting a license or ID. so everyone would basically be registered to vote. i think they also want to let felons vote even while they serve their term. im sure not everyone agrees with that.
hopefully more states keep pushing in this direction.
