Support grows for voting rights for felons TAMPA, Fla. -Alarmed by the staggering number of people who are barred from voting because of past criminal convictions, legislators in an increasing number of states are advocating propos- als to allow felons to return to the voting booth. The issue, long touted by prisoner rights advocates, is finding support among mainstream civil rights organizations and political leaders. They argue that the crazy quilt of state laws barring felons from voting not only constitutes unfair punishment but also has the potential to shut entire communities out of the political process because such a large proportion of their citizens cannot vote. That is especially true for African-American men, 13 percent of whom are ineligible to vote because of criminal convictions, accord- ing to a recent study conducted jointly by the Sentencing Project and Human Rights Watch, both well-known research organizations. In ten states, more than one in five black men are barred from voting because of their criminal records. Winning back voting rights for those with felony convictions, from murdertopassing a bad check, will not be asimpletask. Indeed, it is already evident the effort faces stiff opposition from those who reject the notion that criminals are entitled to the same voting rights as everyone else. But it is also clear that, in several states, the momentum to change the system has never been stronger. Closing the gap between In Florida, a bill has been introduced to allow felons to automati- cally regain their voting rights one year after they complete their sentences, including probation. Currently, felons in Florida are teachers and technology barred for life from voting unless their rights are restored by a governor’s pardon.
