denying felons the right to vote is unconstitutional

[T. A. Gardner]

They have permanent vote disqualification. You can get it back by going to court. You have to suck up to a judge. You know who can afford that? So poor and minorities are disenfranchised. Three states have permanent voting bans. Some insist on all court costs, fees, and fines being paid in full first. Of course, they just tack on new costs and keep a citizen from voting.

Depends on the state. Some are permanently disqualified, and that's clearly wrong. Other states require restoration of your rights through a legal process, that's marginally acceptable. Then there are some states that simply restore them automatically.
