Roger Clegg, of the Center for Equal Opportunity, has written two essays on the issue of restoring voting rights to felons.
An excerpt from his New York Times essay:
It’s claimed that, once released, felons should be re-enfranchised because they have “paid their debt to society.” But this phrase is misleading, since in many respects we don’t ignore a criminal past – for example, in allowing someone to buy a gun.
