3. In my state felons can vote after the period of their original

sentence has lapsed.

In an area where I was canvassing there was a home with a POW/MIA flag hung on a flagpole in the front yard below the American flag. My list showed there were no registered voters at this home, so although I assumed he wasn't a supporter I knocked anyway. The man who lived there invited me into his home and on the living room wall were his framed medals and ribbons, there was a Purple Heart among the 20 or so awards, framed next to that shadow box were letters that came from the government that must have come with the awards. The veteran explained he was ineligible to vote as a convicted felon, but as it turned out the sentence expired so long ago that he has been eligible to vote for a decade.

He was very pleased to learn he could vote he said it has frustrated him for some time that he couldn't vote. I still assumed he'd be a Republican but when I later checked he turned out to have registered Democratic.

Either way I would have been proud to have given him the opportunity to vote again, but the fact that he was a Democrat was the icing.
