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

What color is your state in the link below?

2. LOL. That's a great line! Glad that my southern neighbor is on board with voting rights. We've
got sister states that are a mess. Check out this same post in Alabama - the response I received there just broke my heart. What a mess! One would think that after passing the Voting Rights Act back in the 60s that we would have had time to "work out all the kinks." Truly a shame and a disgrace, and we know whose party benefits from this.

3. It looks like GA lets felons vote after completion of their sentence, Good.

I wonder if gun possession rights are restored as well? Probably not.
