given how little one vote matter, it seems to me that stripping felons of their right to vote is both petty and counterproductive if the point was to reform them into civic minded individuals ? - eviltoast

Also, seems kind of scary that this implies a future where so many people are in prison that their vote could actually tip the balance ?

    Can we be totally honest here and just state what the fear is?

    If slaves could vote they’d vote for freedom.

    There’s a hole the size of a railroad junction in the 13nd amendment.

      There’s a hole the size of a railroad junction in the 13nd amendment.

      It’s less of a loophole and more of a loop-archway… with bright neon signs to advertise it.
