Which of the following should be restricted from voting?

[Hitchabrut]

3,4,5, ex-felons if you mean armed robbers released from prison, although ex-embezzlers should be allowed to vote in elections.

[Blue Rectangle]

only felons, by that I mean people in jail for a felony. After they are released they should have their rights restored.

Including the right to bear arms?

Felons and ex-felons should be barred from voting.

non-violent ones yes. violent ones no. But letting them have weapons is dangerous. letting them vote is not.

the main reason is that "felon" lists can be very easily abused, see Florida 2000. I'd rather have every felon able to vote than have a single innocent person disbarred.

Then you are more pro-gun than the NRA.  They believe in a general ban for felons.

I think you mean disenfranchised.  This is much less of a danger now that provisional voting is mandated in presidential elections.  A person whose registration is in dispute is allowed to vote on a provisional basis until there is time for investigation, and if he/she was stricken in error from the voting rolls, the vote is counted.

I see no reason to be nice to felons.  We should be stiffening penalties against them, not easing up.
