You have that backwards. When discussing whether to restrict fundamental rights, the onus is on those who want to restrict those rights and freedoms to show a rationale, instead of the other way around. The default is that one has rights, unless there is a compelling reason to deny them.
There was awhile ago and they found it to be reasonable and fair to take away voting privileges for felony crimes. Most of the history of every state had them takin away since their founding. So what evidence or argument due you put forth to say they should be done away with?
Also its a privilege not a right don't get it twisted.
