The subject at hand is like any other, it is worth discussing however in my opinion convicts or former convicts shouldn’t vote. Law makers make subjects or actions illegal for good reason, there is no law maker who wakes up in the morning making something illegal without good motive. Convicts should not vote, why should you vote for a leader if you can’t be one yourself? what have you proved to society that give you the right to vote?

Welcome to my blog Cody! Yes you are right; we cannot just take away people’s right to vote. However, we really should be educating people in the political process. I know that a lot of people are very impartial about the subject and it can be extremely frustrating, but I don’t think that should be an excuse for not reading up and actually knowing what’s going on. You can be non-caring but still be educated.

Thanks for commenting!

well, Although having people know what they are voting on would make perfect sense, I don’t think you can just take away the rights to vote from people. I suppose that maybe a initial test when registering to vote, asking you basic questions about what the issues are could be implemented, but I doubt that would effectivly “eliminate” those who don’t know whats going on.

I believe that maybe the best way would be to require people to take classes on the issues when they want to register for voting. But not everyone has time for classes and for those that do, they don’t all have their free time at the same time.

so to put it simple, we have almost no way of educating people other than offering up sources that are filled with just the facts and hope that those who choose to vote take the time to educate themselves.
