    I legitimately want to know why this is so disqualifying to people.

    We’d have to go pretty far back for this to be inexcusable for a member if either party.

      Why is a felony used to deny their right to vote?

      Because using felony convictions to punish people can easily be weaponized against minorities. They can also be ignored when it comes to rich white guys.
