Booker T. Stallworth Biography
- Title:
- Former Communications Director for the Washington State Senate Majority Coalition Caucus
- Position:
- Not Clearly Pro or Con to the question "Should People Who Have Completed Felony Sentences Be Allowed to Vote?"
- Reasoning:
-
“A felon who has not met all of [his/her] legal obligations has not paid his or her debt to society in full. So why should a felon’s voting rights be restored before that debt is paid?”
“ACLU’s Lawsuit for Felons’ Voting Rights Dishonors Crime Victims,” in Human Events, Apr. 7, 2006
[Editor’s Note: Individuals and organizations that do not support felon re-enfranchisement until felons have paid all fines and restitution (in addition to having completed their term of incarceration and probation/parole) are classified as Not Clearly Pro or Con. Also, those who support re-enfranchisement of some felons but not others (for example, felons who committed murder or rape) are also classified as Not Clearly Pro or Con.]
