I would not be in favor of allowing prisoners to vote without knowing their immigration status. Maine has fought against REAL ID: https://www.dhs.gov/real-id/maine.
cannot rep you, you know the deal, however, this was another great post. Thank you

I am ALL for locking up VIOLENT criminals-even though most of the violence is directly related to the War on "Drugs" and the black market economy which would not exist if not for prohibition.

We are the worlds leading criminal base...period....

your everyday commoner is now becoming criminals, b/c all the federal and state cutbacks first effect police and fireman....and the result is, not enough police.

You watch when there is a speed trap set up, and how quickly people slow down....

Most of your accidents today are happening b/c people are driving recklessly...with phones, texting, running traffic lights....I'm seeing a whole lot of people tail gating, and rolling thru stop signs...

everyone feels they are above the law....

Trash along side of the road is disgusting....

I swear, humans are the dumbest animal alive....and yet, it's all their fault....when people once again, start respecting laws, rules and regulations, it will change, but not before...and that is why this country is so crime ridden....

What do you think?

I think anybody who has done time for a felony is very unlikely to vote or even know anything about the process.

I think all adults should be eligible to vote if they are citizens of the country.
