Yes. Felons should lose their right to vote under the constitution during and after incarceration.
Felons constitutionally lose their right to vote only during incarceration.
There is no constitutional justification to ban felons from voting during or after incarceration
Stop using the race card!

the most common felonies?
Drug abuse, DUI, Property crime, larceny, theft, assault, disorderly conduct, drunkenness....
I'm not saying those are minor crimes but half those are probably done by a majority of college students during Spring Break...

What has this got to do with voting?

When some guys right are restored and he sticks a 9mm in your face.
Lifes lessons then. And no, if they do it as a stupid 19 year old. I don't care how far in life it follows them.
If he was prone to do that anyway, what recognizing his rights gonna do about that? He'd probably just get a gun illegally and do it that way. Or are you one of those people who believe that restrictions magically make it so people cannot obtain things?
hahaha

Good, extra charge to keep him prison longer next time.
There's incarceration mechanisms for dealing with repeat offenders. I'm not concerned.
But I do believe strongly in not limiting rights to my fellow Americans.
We can't see fear around every corner, and use that as rationale to limit each-other's rights.

Repeat violent offender should be good enough on that front.

I don't know about the Constitution in this case, but it doesn't seem to make sense as it would tend to weaken the society.
Most of the same people who don't want convicted felons to vote are also the same people who don't want welfare recipients to vote because they don't pay taxes. They "don't have skin in the game".
Hence, if these people are being consistent, they also favor that convicted felons not pay taxes because they can't vote, right? Fair is fair.
