Now imagine this happening on the federal level for President.... Over two million people in prison in the United States. That's a huge voting block.

Are presidential candidates going to be hosting events at prisons to get their votes?

We don't trust these people in prison enough to let them out, and we shouldn't allow them to vote. Ever. Once a felon, you lose certain rights.
