Only 10 states ban voting by convicted felons permanently, and even then it depends on the nature of crime and circumstances. (as in violent felons only, an important distinction not afforded to those who have their 2nd amendment rights permanently revoked) All the rest restore their voting rights at some point after completing their sentence.
Contrary to popular opinion, voting rights are rarely permanently revoked from those who have been released from prison as are second amendment rights.
As far as your second link goes, what do Voter ID laws have anything to do with this?
"Let's be honest here... Katie was not the one in the editing room.'
If she had any principles, she would be out condemning the "final" product.
The editor's "apology"...wasn't. And there's no way I'm going to believe the producer and editor didn't think anti-gun Couric would be thrilled with the edit. Plus, Couric is the Executive Producer.
Couric should have been outraged, and apologized. Instead, she issued a statement "standing by" the edit. Who's surprised? Not me.

The US Constitution stated in Amendment XV, which was ratified by the states in 1870: "Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
Katie is just a bimbo who believes she is a journalist. She needs to go back to doing stupid human interest stories on the Today Show. She has no credibility in the news business.
Most of them are. And as someone else said, that includes Savannah Guthrie and Megyn Kelly. I believe the idiotic Savannah might be the worst of the worst

Voting is a constitutional right.
Requiring ID to vote has nothing to do with anyone's race, color, or previous condition of servitude........
So.....why do I need ID to buy a firearm?
Maybe for the same reason that you should have to have ID to vote?
That there's a possibility that I'm not who I say I am?
BS, bullet taxes, OMG they're taking our bullets away! The outright bans are for ridiculous assault guns and others ideal for mass murder.
Scapegoating guns and blaming rednecks to take attention away from inner city crime? Why? That's more made-up BS to motivate gun buyers and Republican politicians.

I'm no Katie fan, but has anyone actually questioned her on it?
Think that will ever happen? Me neither!
