Of course not, that would be like congress voting to put their pay and benefits in the hands of citizens instead of themselves.
Why is Eric Holder campaigning to restore voting rights for convicted felons?

Maybe he thinks felons are likely to vote Democratic. I fear he will be disappointed. None of the felons I know give a shit about voting.

You can be certain that Eric and his boss are doing it for some political purpose. I am sure he considers the political consequences every time he takes a dump.

i'm not trying to argue or prove you wrong desert, but i was still curious and went ahead and googled it.. seems they take the pools from several sources, including voter reg. and drivers licenses ...

Are a U.S. Citizen
Are 18 years or older
Have sufficient knowledge of the English language
Are a resident of the county that summoned you
Are not currently serving on a grand jury or trial jury
Are not under a conservatorship
Have no felony convictions

i bet this is the first administration ever to make political calculations, kinda like when your savior tried to amend the constitution to ban gay marriage a decade ago.
