Felons are not 'equal' once released. They can not work in some jobs, they can not own firearms (at least in my state), they are looked on more harshly if they are arrested again (3 strikes you are out). If I were convicted of a felony I would lose my license as a health provider. Why should they have a right to vote? They have willingly violated the laws of a society so why should they be trusted with that society? There are a lot of people that should not vote, but that is subjective opinion. On the other hand felons are people who were proven in a court of law to willingly violate the laws of the land. They have no respect for the laws we all agree to adhere too and should have no say.
