Kentucky felons have lost voting rights for a reason

I’m appalled that Joe Gallenstein advocates permitting felons to vote. These are drunk drivers, murderers, rapists and child abusers who have already demonstrated their lack of responsibility and disregard for the laws of civilized society. Why should these criminals be allowed to help choose the people who will make the laws they willfully disobeyed? When they committed their crime, they threw away their right to vote, and they do not deserve our pity.
