“I’m a convicted felon but want to vote in the Presidential election. Will you help me?”

Could you answer that question in Kansas?

What color is your state in the link below?

1. In KS, you have to be off paper.

Personally, if the person is not in prison, I think they should be able to vote. If they are safe enough to among us, they are safe enough to have a voice. Plus, voting is a act of community involvement which decreases the likelihood of unlawful behavior.
