Didn't Stevens just get convicted of a felony?  Is he even eligible to vote for himself?

Depending how Alaskan law treats appeals.  Also, I don't think bureaucracy can move can fast enough to forbid him.  If you commit a felony on November 3rd, pay bail, and vote on November 4th, I think your vote will count (but not sure).  He could have also voted absentee already.

It's not a crime for felons to TRY to vote, even if they are ineligible.  So Stevens has no obligation to not to try.  The felony thing probably most hurts voters registering or re-registering to vote.

At least here, they do a sweep of felony convictions every month.  He'll probably be able to vote for himself (although technically he shouldn't be able to -- I checked AK law), but unless he wins the appeal, it'll be his last election.

"lol."
