After they've gotten out of prison, I don't see why their voting rights can't be restored. The idea should be that if they get out of prison, they're capable of being normal citizens again.

>30 states allow felons to vote
>50 states don't
>70 states don't, and permanently remove rights after two felonies
>90 states don't, and permanently remove rights after one felony

Nebraska confuses the heck out of me there.
