And how about other released felons?

You know, the people that have already paid their debt to society.

After they have fulfilled all obligations of their convictions, to include probation. Why not?

In the case of convicted J6ers/i**********nists. I would favor not letting them v**e since they have tried to violate the peaceful t******r of p***r.

It’s up to each state since it’s not a federal issue…

Then I guess they all get to v**e since no one was convicted of i**********n. Come on guy, you can’t pick and choose the crimes you want to exclude. I agree once your sentence has been served including state parole and federal probation (as one is still in constructive custody without restoration of constitutional rights i.e. 4th amendment protections from search and seizure) then they should v**e. As Blaster 34 stated the states have discretion as to who can be on a b****t and what would disqualify one from v****g. For instance in California a Parolee can v**e but an incarcerated felon can not which does not make sense as the parolee has not technically completed their sentence, are still in “constructive custody” and subject to search and seizure at anytime and any place. That being said the federal rules (Title 52-V****g and E******ns-Subtitle I and II) are quite specific and voluminous and any violation or non-compliance by a state’s Secretary of State could be met with the Department of Justice seeking declaratory relief.

You can't single out any group for special treatment/punishment. Once society's debt is repaid that is it.

And what's this I hear about New York allowing i*****l a***ns to v**e?
Methinks it's a crime to enter the USA illegally!

InfiniteISO Loc: The Carolinas, USA

In most states, anyone convicted of a felony is prevented from v****g until they've completed all aspects of their punishment, including probation.

I think most of the J6 folks that are doing time were convicted (at a minimum) of the federal statute that involves disrupting an official proceeding. A resident of my state was held without bond for throwing a water bottle at a policemen and then entering the capitol where he did nothing more aggressive. He recently got an additional year in federal prison for a total that is going to be more than 3 years in prison and a lengthy probation period. The fact that he awaited 2 years in lockup and was denied bail shows you how skewed the J6 prosecutions have been.

At the same time, there are DAs around the country in major metropolitan areas not prosecuting violent crimes for repeat offenders.

Don’t forget zero bail policies so we can reoffend while waiting our next court date that we will probably fail to appear.

srg

New York is so evil (liberal) that they even allow aliens from other galaxies to v**e.

Sad but true — both the incarcerated and the DA’s not doing what should be required.

This is addressed in the U.S. Constitution -

Article IX, Clause 3 - "No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed"; and Article X, Clause 1 - "No State... shall pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law..."

That pretty much sums it up.

Unless the laws are already in effect.

If I am convicted of a felony in Federal court, can I v**e?

Read my reply to the original post -



ArtzDarkroom implied a new law, which would be Unconstitutional, even if they met other conditions.
