	Election Law @ Moritz - e-Book
		Laws disenfranchising felons could be found in many states soon after the country's Founding, and the character and consequences of these laws evolved in racially motivated ways after the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution gave fl males the right to vote.
		Though courts and legislatures have eliminated various other restrictions on voting rights, the disenfranchisement of felons has remained a significant limitation on the ability of a portion of the population to be full participants in the political process.
		Notably, the state of Florida, which permanently disenfranchises felons, had an estimated 600,000 ex-felons who had completed their sentences and yet were unable to vote in the 2000 presidential election.

	Election Law @ Moritz - e-Book
		Johnson-Parris argues that when a felon is paroled he enters into a social contract not unlike the one he broke by committing the original crime, but this second social contract is noticeably different than the first: the felon is not an equal party free to contract.
		Since the felon is disenfranchised he is a silent party to the social contract and the contract, therefore, is unconscionable.
		Felon disenfranchisement depletes minority communities of a voice in a way that echoes the intentional discrimination of the past.

	The Seattle Times: Local News: Scores of felons voted illegally

		Washington prohibits felons from voting not only while they are in prison but until they have met all court-imposed obligations including community service and the payment of restitution and fines.

	Felon Disenfranchisement Is Constitutional, And Justified - National Constitution Center (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		In particular, it is claimed that, because a disproportionate number of felons are African Americans, therefore Congress can pass a ban on felon disenfranchisement as part of its authority to enforce the 14th and 15th Amendments prohibitions of racial discrimination.
		The states that prohibit felons who have served their complete sentences from voting are hardly the old Confederacy: Only five of the thirteen states fall in that category.
		Barring felons from voting is one way society sends the message that committing a serious crime has serious consequences.

	IMPACT OF THE FUGITIVE FELON ACT ON COMMITTEES ON WAIVERS AND COMPROMISES
		A “fugitive felon” refers to a person who is fleeing to avoid prosecution, custody, or confinement for a felony.
		While a fugitive felon can be considered as being personally responsible for his or her debt, a chapter 35 payee would not normally be considered as being personally responsible for a debt that results from the actions of a fugitive felon.
		On the other hand, however, a fugitive felon who either knowingly flees to avoid prosecution, custody, or confinement or knowingly violates a condition of probation or parole would most likely be unable to present any information or evidence that would mitigate his or her degree of fault.

	Latest News - Felon Voting Rights Conflict Hits Federal Court
		Advocates involved in the Hayden case argue that felon disenfranchisement distorts the distribution of political power, not just by stripping largely minority felons of political clout, but also by indirectly inflating the representation of white-majority districts where prisons are located, which can count non-voting inmates as part of their local populations.
		Unlock the Block, a New York-based campaign for felon voting rights, said the case for a link between incarceration and race was irrefutable.
		He argued that by the nature of their crimes, felons have proven that they cannot be trusted with the same political entitlements as others.

	village voice > news > Chisun Lee surveys the various legal battles going on around the country as minorities struggle ...
		The prevalence of felon disenfranchisement in Northern and Western states, scholars say, illustrates that racism, or at least indifference to the fate of racial minorities, is misunderstood to be only a "Southern" problem.
		If that shrinking circle of decision making makes felon voting bans seem less than legitimate, it is natural to wonder about the legitimacy of other policies—education, social services, policing—that heavily affect these disenfranchised minority groups and their run-ins with the criminal justice system.
		But the disenfranchised and their advocates are struggling to show that criminal matters are a creature of the political system, and that the minority status of the disenfranchised therefore matters a lot in the context of group politics.

	Felon Rights EP365
		The disenfranchisement of felons and ex-felons currently excludes 5.3 million Americans—disproportionately racial minorities and low-income Americans—from participating in the democratic process.
		Felon disenfranchisement rules sometimes result, moreover, in further exclusion of eligible voters from the polls because their names incorrectly appear on felon lists or match the names of other people on those lists.
		The historical motivation behind felon disenfranchisement laws is unambiguous: they were passed before the civil rights movement and sought to keep African Americans from the voting booth.

	The Seattle Times: Local News: Toss out felon vote, Gregoire still wins
		Assuming those felons voted proportionately the same as others in their precincts, the GOP argued that removing their votes from the tally would hand the election back to Rossi.
		The key is not necessarily in the number of felon votes, but where those votes were cast: Almost all of the felon voters identified by Democrats were cast in precincts won by Rossi.
		Chuck Nelson, a Gregoire voter, is a convicted felon who has paid his "debt to society," he said, for his 1998 drug-possession charge.

	Peter Kirsanow on Felon & Election 2004 on National Review Online
		This is particularly true in the case of felon voting, a cause championed by a growing number of politicians and interest groups.
		In some Florida counties more than 80 percent of the felons who voted illegally were registered Democrats.) Therefore, had Florida's felons voted in the 2000 presidential election at a rate comparable to the rest of the Florida electorate, Al Gore would have won the state by more than 60,000 votes.
		Denying an 18-year-old the right to vote for the rest of his life because of a nonviolent crime is unlikely to act as either a deterrent or enhance the integrity of the political process.

	Tampabay: Officials wary of felon purge
		Florida is one of a seven states that bar felons from voting unless they successfully petition to have their rights restored, a long and cumbersome process.
		Because felons are disproportionately Democrats, critics said the improper purge in 2000 could have been a decisive factor in the presidential election, when 19,398 voters were purged because the state said they were felons.
		To be flagged as a potential felon, the match has to score 50 points on an 80-point scale.

	Foxy Felon Threatens TSG - February 21, 2006
		It's been a few years since we've thought about the comely 25-year-old Floridian, whose photo first appeared on TSG in 2002 as part of a collection of mug shots that we dubbed "Foxy Felons." In June 2000, Hicks was arrested after selling 49 Ecstasy tablets to an undercover cop in Rockland County, New York.
		In a February 13 letter, attorney Terry Bork contends that our publication of Hicks's mug shot and details of her rap sheet somehow invades the young felon's privacy and holds her up to ridicule.
		The posting of his client's mug shot, Bork claims, has led Hicks to become fearful for her safety, since she has become a topic of discussion of unnamed "numerous blogs." Making matters worse, he adds, our posting of Hicks's photo "has invited members of the public" to use her mug shot for masturbatory purposes.

	SSRN-The Uncertain Congressional Power to Ban State Felon Disenfranchisement Laws by Richard Hasen
		Although courts in other countries have held that the practice of denying the right to vote to felons (or ex-felons) violates constitutional guarantees, the U.S. Supreme Court has held that the practice usually does not violate the U.S. Constitution.
		The most promising, but still quite uncertain, basis for congressional power is that a felon disenfranchisement ban enforces equal protection guarantees against race discrimination under the 14th amendment and enforces the right to vote free of race discrimination under the 15th amendment.
		The article concludes that in light of the Supreme Court's new federalism jurisprudence it is uncertain whether the Supreme Court would uphold such a law on this basis as a permissible exercise of congressional power, leaving state legislatures as the prime locus for changes to felon disenfranchisement laws.

	Felon in Possession of a Weapon Laws Lawyers, Legal Information, Attorney Finder
		A person is considered a felon if he or she has been convicted of a crime, either violent or non-violent, that is punishable by a prison term of more than one year.
		Possession means more than just physically having a gun on your person. In addition to physical possession, the law prohibits felons from having constructive possession of guns. Constructive possession means, for example, a felon cannot have a gun in his house or car, even if he is not present at either location.
		The penalties for a felon being found in possession of a gun can be severe. Oftentimes the crime itself is felony, and as with many other crimes, the more prior felony convictions a person has, the longer the prison sentence prosecutors will seek.

	State: Q&A: Felon voter list
		More than 2,000 names on the list of potential felons match records of people who have won clemency and should be allowed to vote.
		State elections officials say the figure is misleading because several hundred were registered voters before they were convicted of felonies and then won clemency.
		Florida is one of six states that prevents felons from voting, and felons who move here from other states are not on this list and are not prevented from voting.
