Pro to the question "Should felons be allowed to vote?"
Reasoning:
"It will be difficult, in this age of punitive politics, to persuade legislators to give greater rights to ex-felons. But advocates must persevere. Giving ex-felons the right to vote would help them turn their lives around, would make communities safer, and is simply the right thing to do in a democracy."
