yes.
I think my point would be better made if I came up with an example, but I am not coming up with anything. Sometimes, not always, but sometimes the advocates are pushing their own agenda using people that don't share the belief.
I wonder, based on absolutely no factual evidence, how many of these convicted felons really care about their right to vote. There is no way to prove/disprove this idea at this point, I am just wondering.
I am not accusing anybody of anything, but if these people were to regain the right to vote and they tend to vote Democrat then the Democrats would have a vested interest in restoring that right and pushing these people (i.e. convincing them it was important when they didn't care before) into polling places. Conversely, the Republicans would have a vested interest in blocking that move. Two different sides, pushing their own agenda, the nature of the beast.
The only way we can get a little insight is to see if any of these felons made any attempt to vote prior to losing the right to. Either way, it would be too difficult to prove their desire to vote or not vote now that this is being made public.
