Prisoners do not deserve the vote. Going to prison means losing your freedom including the freedom to vote. I as a 16 year old can say that the idea of the vote being lowered to 16 is absolutely ridiculous. Most my age would not know who to vote for and even if they did would not make the right to decision.

Why should we prevent any prisoners from voting?

Isn't there a potential for a government to abuse this power by imprisoning a person? (e.g. a very small town that is pretty evenly divided - just arrest one or two people and you might swing an election.)

Prisoners that have income (maybe they have book royalties or investment income, etc. that they still receive while in jail) are required to pay taxes - so do they have taxation without representation?

Me. No one else. Do you have any idea how great the world would be if I were the only one who could vote?

Definitely the first two should be allowed to cast their votes,trials can save the convicts and after that they've rights to vote

Well yes they may be prisoners but they are still human and have rights

Anyone who is a US citizen should be allowed to vote. Some would say only home owners or only tax payers. I say every US citizen.

Once convicted of their crime, prisoners should not be able to vote, even after released from prison.

In my opinion, anyone who is standing in a line should be able to vote.
