That sounds politically and ideologically motivated. its also totally unconstitutional. Very CCP. Jailing people to keep them out of the civic process.

Who died and made you God? Why do you get to arbitrarily decide what is and isn’t moral?
You’re just value signaling.

Quick check on Google, 0.7% of the USA is in prison which is over 2 million votes up for grabs if they were allowed to vote, political parties might actually think about how to get those votes if prisoners were allowed to vote.

Lots of people in those workshops are in wheelchairs and barely have use of their hands. They spend their days putting light bulbs in sleeves, grips on hose ends or stickers on candy. They can’t read or write. How do you think they vote by themselves?
The where is wherever there are sheltered workshops. I did lots of volunteer work with developmentally disabled when I was younger.
No, something like the SAT.
And you told them what to vote?

Where would you draw a line?
No I didn’t. I would also like to know under what circumstances you were able to see someone else voting in a voting booth?
