Depends on the felony. The problem is making new thing felonies is a political football. Drug problem in your county? Make carrying an ounce of weed a felony. Real felonies like murder, rape, etc, should end one's right to vote. Going to jail for DUI or a little weed should not label you a lesser citizen for life. Side: Yes!
It makes no sense to take away someone's right to vote just because they broke the law. What exactly are politicians trying to accomplish? Do they think that all of a sudden, if felons vote, they'll vote in a candidate who wants to legalize murder? Get real, people. Letting felons vote won't cause the country to fall to shit. It will merely give the country a larger representative voice. A felon having the right to vote does not make him more harmful to society. So there is no point in taking away that right. As well, before someone commits a felony, it's not a deterrent when they think about losing the right to vote (just in case someone brings a retarded argument like that). Side: Yes!
