They shouldn't be allowed to vote as they should be in jail. Anyone in jail shouldn't be able to vote as they can't get to the polls. This is where blank mail-in ballots help as you can collect all the ballots and vote for them.

Once you serve your time, rights should be restored.

As anyone who is incarcerated by the government shouldn't be voting, no one who is employed/paid by the government should be voting. That would never happen though as it would stop a lot of the get rich quick people.

I think Vermont is the only state that lets people vote from jail.
For a little while IIRC Florida was the only state that said felons could never vote again no matter how long they had been out of jail.  We are still far behind the other 49 states in restoring voting rights.  DeSantis wants it that way.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
