I do think they should be allowed to vote upon release. It is a constitutional right. They do not vote during their time incarcerated, and that is what our elected officials determined to be their fate. However I do not think they should be allowed to actively aid in a campaign for another, or hold a public office themselves. Politics is crooked enough with out having a crook run for office.

We in Ireland have gone one better. The Liberals won out and last year the Law was changed to allow inmates that are currently serving a sentence to vote.
