Use one or both articles to support your stance as well as your own sound logic.___________ARTICLE 1: SHOULD CONVICTED FELONS LOSE THE RIGHT TO VOTE? article from Pacific StandardKIMBERLY R. KRAS AUG 6, 2018 At least six million United States citizens cannot vote in the U.S. because they have been convicted of a felony, but there is a growing movement to change that.A fundamental right of United States citizenship is having your voice heard by voting to elect representatives. However, at least six million U.S. citizens cannot vote in the U.S. because they have been convicted of a felony. Losing the right to vote is among numerous other consequences of being convicted of a crime. This so-called "civil death" suggests that person is considered dead to society. The larger political consequence is a lack of representation in government of a large group of citizens who are largely poor and people of color.I study the impact of being convicted on individuals and communities. States have a variety of rules and regulations when it comes to voting rights and felony convictions. In some states, when a person is convicted they are barred from voting until they successfully complete prison, probation, or parole. But in 12 states, people convicted of felonies are barred from voting for life. In response to growing concern that these laws disenfranchise large segments of America's citizens, several states have recently made substantial, yet controversial, changes to voting rights of ex-felons. This may be a growing movement. VOTING RIGHTS AND FELONY CONVICTIONSIn 2016, Virginia's Governor Terry McAuliffe took executive action to restore voting rights to at least 173,000 ex-felons. In April, New York's Governor Andrew Cuomo signed an executive order to restore voting rights to felons on parole. Florida may be next in line for change. In July, the Florida Supreme Court heard arguments in a case about whether laws excluding felons from the right to vote are constitutional. In November, the state will vote on a ballot measure to restore ex-felon's voting rights automatically upon completion of their sentence. These decisions will impact a large segment of Florida's voting-age population and continue to build a strong precedent for other states. Florida has historically played an important role in American elections. Yet roughly 10 percent of Floridians can't vote because they have been convicted of felonies. Research suggests that, had these Americans been able to cast their vote for president in the 2000 election, Florida would have been a blue state. Studies show that ex-felons largely vote Democrat, and in this case would have made an impact in a presidential election. However, critics point out that many felons do not vote even if their rights are restored.That may be true, but research shows that, for many ex-felons, it's because they don't know they can. This means fewer people have input in electing representatives who generally support causes important to them such as rehabilitation for offenders and criminal justice reform.Americans who have been convicted and stripped of their right to vote often feel that they can't see themselves as citizens who are giving back to the community if they are denied participation in the political process. Restoring voting rights signals to all citizens that those who have served their time for a past crime can participate in a key mechanism of civic engagement: voting. Participating in civic life is associated with reductions in recidivism, so an inclusive approach to democracy can only strengthen the political process. That's because the interests of more Americans, especially those historically silenced, will be heard through their vote. EX-FELONS AS CITIZENSMoreover, research has shown that denying voting rights affects not just individuals, but also families and entire communities, especially those typically underrepresented in political arenas like people of color and those in poverty. For example, partners of ex-felons are less likely to vote. In 2016, approximately 70 percent of individuals in prison were people of color, despite making up only 25 percent of the U.S. population. Researchers attribute some of this racial disparity to sentencing laws and policies resembling what's been termed by Michelle Alexander as "The New Jim Crow." Restricting ex-felons from voting really says that, if you have committed a crime in the U.S., you can never be a full citizen again, even after serving punishment. That message suggests that they are always second- or third-class citizens.But studies have shown that, when people are reintegrated meaningfully in our society, the chances that they return to prison are reduced and the public is safer. Without the right to vote, ex-felons have less of a benefit or an interest in contributing positively to our communities. Being fully engaged in your community and having a voice in what happens to you are vital connections to others in the community—connections that can act to reduce crime. Voting rights represent the epitome of what it means to be a U.S. citizen.__________ARTICLE 2: THERE ARE GOOD REASONS FOR FELONS TO LOSE THE RIGHT TO VOTE commentary from The Heritage FoundationROGER CLEGG AND HANS A. VON SPAKOVSKYApril 10, 2018George Will asks, “What compelling government interest is served by felon disenfranchisement?” Here’s the answer: If you’re not willing to follow the law, then you should not have a role in making the law for everyone else, which is what you do when you vote — either directly (in the case of a referendum or ballot initiative) or indirectly (by choosing lawmakers and law enforcers). Mr. Will is uncomfortable with “politicians and their appointees deciding who can vote.” So he is uncomfortable with the Constitution, which implicitly provides for just that when it leaves the choice of deciding who votes to the states (with some specific prohibited qualifications, such as race and sex). Who else would Mr. Will have make this decision — judges? Please. Speaking of race, in a confusing paragraph, Mr. Will seems to suggest that some might think it relevant that a disproportionate number of felons are black and that African Americans vote disproportionately for Democrats; we agree with Mr. Will if he is saying that race and partisanship should both be off the table when considering felon disenfranchisement — and we note that a federal court of appeals ruled 11-1 in 2005 that Florida’s law on the issue (the subject of Will’s column) is not racially motivated.Mr. Will thinks that the Florida re-enfranchisement process is too “protracted” and “cumbersome,” and of course there are few government processes that are perfect. But the solution is to improve the process rather than throw it out. And maybe Mr. Will would be happy with an improved process, but it’s hard to say because he never does say what he favors. Would he let felons still in prison vote, the way Maine and Vermont do? Maybe so, since otherwise — horrors! — elected officials would be “fine-tun[ing] the quality of the electorate.” We agree — indeed, we know nobody who doesn’t agree — that we must “facilitate[e] the re-entry into society of released prisoners who were not improved by the experience of incarceration.” But it is precisely because such a high percentage of criminals who are released are so unimproved that they find their way back into prison (nationally, more than half) that it makes sense to wait some period of time, as Florida does, to make sure that the felon really has turned over a new leaf. After that period of time — how long would depend on the crime committed, whether there had been previous felonies, how long ago the crime or crimes were committed, and what the felon has done since being released — then the felon could have the right to vote restored. It should be rather like a naturalization ceremony, at a courthouse with friends and family present to celebrate, some official making a nice speech, American flags, and the felon raising his right hand. Now that would be a way to incentivize the reintegration of the felon back into civil society. Automatic re-enfranchisment — if that is what Mr. Will wants — would miss that opportunity. And it would inevitably re-enfranchise thousands, maybe millions, of felons who have not changed their ways, so that people unwilling to follow the law would be making the law for everyone else.
