1.) Felons and those in jail should have the same voting rights as all other citizens. Felons - AGREE, in jail - DISAGREE
Very disappointing.  To think, I'm more liberal than opebo on voting rights.

Generally, but this doesn't cover rape.
Well, clearly, any rapist is not doing unto his rapee as he would have them to do him.

When I was 5, I didn't know what the word "politics" really meant; when I was 10, I just supported whoever my parents were rooting for during the TV coverage.  The voting age should be, at minimum, 14, but 16 is better.

How exactly would you stop parents from forcing 5 year olds to vote?  Wouldn't it make more sense to just have a voting age?

Abolishing the voting age, giving the right to vote to 4 year olds, and fining parents who force their kids to vote the way they want them to... is nonsense.

Why the hell not?  Someone screws up and they lose all of their rights even after they're out of jail?

If you got every child molester to vote, lowering the age of consent would still fail miserably.

Anyway, someone who has served their jail sentence and repaid their debt to society should be able to vote.

Yes.  If they commited a crime they should pay the price.  All I see this as is an attempt to get votes by the Democratic Party.  I may consider changing my opinion if one Republican, even a moderate one, decides to support this, but for now, Hillary and you are not enough to convince me.
We need to bring back that "Laughing Stock of Atlasia" title.  First of all, I see your attempt to sabotage the right to vote as a way to take away votes from the Democratic Party and to help the Republicans.  I didn't realize that Hillary and I were the only proponents of voting rights.  I believe that the state of Nebraska has restored voting rights to its ex felons, and Iowa is considering it.  Very liberal states, right?

If the Democratic Party needs the votes of outlaws to win, the Democratic Party needs to be outlawed.
Would you say the same thing if ex-felons leaned Republican?  How about in a close race?

By the way, someone who actually thinks murderers in jail should be able to vote shouldn't be complaining about other people's views on voting rights.
This isn't about felons, it's about ex-felons.

I don't support letting ex felons vote because it will help the Democratic party; I support letting them vote because they're citizens.

People who commit crimes of extreme cruelty should be able to rule?  I didn't say nor imply that; they should just have the same voting rights as anyone else.  Also, it's unwise for a Republican to state their dislike of people who commit acts of extreme cruelty ruling.  After all, I consider administering executions and going to war extremely cruel.
