7. Good for you. At least you're on record for allowing these people the right to vote again. I think

that if they already have paid their debt to society, why continue to punish them more? I don't understand this logic and why all of a sudden, this has happened. It seems like the republicans sat in a room, and came up with all of the ways they can deny folks the right to vote, etc. It seems ironic to me that if a convict moves to another state, e.g., across the state line to Georgia, then they magically the right to vote (if I'm right here in my thinking)?

Perhaps with the upcoming blowout coming, that some of the scumbags in your state legislature will be removed. Unfortunately I have the same thing in MO, a legislature stuffed full of repugs. And we used to be democratically controlled so thanks to jury rigging the district lines, they got in. We do have efforts to take control of the district relining efforts away from a political party and give it to the voters, so at least we have this effort going on in MO.

Thanks and take care of yourself!
