One of the activists pushing for legislative reform says, under current law, an application for restoration of civil rights can be derailed by a simple speeding ticket.

i think that felons should be able to vote. i also believe that under no circumstances should a natural born citizen of the united states be deprived of their constitutional rights. its in the first ten that we all possess certain rights which can’t be taken.
