RE: Convicted Felons & Political Activism - Ben Leder For President 2020

Yes, they do have that right to vote and to be voted for.
In as much as they've been convicted of a crime in the past, the main fact that they've faced conviction has given them the chance to be redeemed of their crime.
If you look down through history, you'll see that many convicted felons, have emerged to become great leaders. A good example is Nelson Mandela of South Africa. I therefore support the motion that felons should be given the right to vote and be voted for.
Thank You.
