> I call your attention to the fact that felons are 5 to 7 times more likely to vote for democrats than republicans.

Well, that is what happens when one party seeks to remove your ability to vote, and the other defends your ability to vote.

> That just isn't the law-and-order party.

I’m amazed that you can imply that the Republicans are the law and order party, and not realize that you’ll get laughed at. Mad props.

Causation goes the other way. Nobody thought felons should vote until democrats realized that it would tip elections.

Oh, my mistake on the law and order. I should go Burn Loot Murder, rioting every night. Seriously? Portland is not a republican stronghold. The most crime-ridden places vote democrat.

I'll grant that Kamala Harris loved to prosecute crack users with a law that Joe Biden introduced, and that Donald Trump reduced the penalty. I'm not sure you want to take credit for the law that locked up lots of black people, but you may.

Law and order and some light treason: https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/529926-texas-gop-ch...

But maybe you’ll think of a way to secede without a bit of the ol’ Burn Loot Murder, you’re a bright lad.

In almost every democratic country around the world felons can vote once they have served their sentence.
