But then someone I know very well got caught up in the criminal justice system over a crime that they had no involvment in, but they confessed to the police just to get away from the interrogation and now they are working their way through a five year probationary sentence in which they have been unable to vote. While they will get their rights back after probation is over because this is Wisconsin, there are states like Georgia among others that don't allow this for any felony conviction. I find this disgusting and this is a major issue for me now.

Both Dean and Kerry support enfranchising those who have completed their probationary sentences. There may be an exception for murderers and sex criminals, but I'm not sure.
