Felon

A felon is someone who is convicted of a serious crime. According to Cambridge Dictionary felony means: "(an example of) serious crime which can be punished by one or more years in prison". In most US states they do not have right to vote. This was a very interesting piece of information to me. However in the states of Vermont and Maine their eligibility to vote is not effected. In some states they gain their right to vote automatically after their sentence is finished but in some other states they have to take their case to a court. Amazingly in some states they may not have their vote restored! In the state of Delaware, as it says "A person convicted of murder, manslaughter or any felony constituting a sexual offense or an offense against public administration involving bribery, improper influence or abuse of office, may not have their voting rights restored." It was interesting to me. How about you?
