Most states don't let felons vote. Only about 20 have a procedure in place that will let someone who is out of jail and has completed any and all probation etc vote again.

Not allowing people on welfare to vote is stupid. Most people on it are on it for a legit reason. There are people gaming the system, but most have a real reason to be on it. Are you suggesting that someone who is disabled and can't work shouldn't be allowed to vote or that someone who has fallen on hard times and needs a little help shouldn't be able to vote?
