There are some rights felons should give up. But voting isn’t one of them. It’s really just a ploy to preserve white rural power.

Attorneys saved four lives last week during the Arkansas’s execution mania. By driving up the cost of killing, they will save many more across the country.

The Trump administration has singled out people with criminal convictions for expulsion, even if they’ve served time. Several governors can simply clear their records—and it’s been done before.
