Arbitrary? Seems to not be so arbitrary. That's the wonderful part about the 50 states. You have 50 different places to try out which laws you'd like to live under. You can always move to another state. These people still have some choices.
I'd agree with you if it was the federal government disenfrancising the felons, but it isn't.
