Why is child support tied to voting?

I have no idea why it is legally, but I would assume that convicted felons are kept up with more than most in that area and it is a condition of all of their rights being restored or not. That being said ... you think a dead beat Dad or Mom should be worthy of having the right to vote?

I'm digging through the original study linked in the article and this number is misleading.

For one, it would suggest that more than 21% of blacks in Tennessee are convicted felons. Second, over 1/2 of the people are either still in prison, in jail, on probation or on parole. When I have time I'll dig deeper into the study.

I always liked the quote about politics that people have the memory of goldfish. You don't really see anyone mentioning the Afghanistan withdrawal as a reason they are voting for Republicans, for instance. It is overwhelmingly pocketbook, kitchen table issues. Even the GOP has sort of transitioned away from culture war stuff the last few weeks to hammering on the economy.

To the democrats favor, one new blunder over shadows the previous blunder. At this point their playbook is remind everyone of January 6 and democracy. Don't look elsewhere.

So ... because TN is still holding on the conditions that prior felons still cannot vote if they haven’t paid their court costs and fines or aren’t up to date and in good standing on their child support payments, that is a bad thing ? Or did you even bother reading the whole thing ? Tweet is misleading and has little to complain about.

Why do you think the democrats now are trying turn all the criminals loose? Votes, Votes, and more votes. It's what they do.

So you believe non violent felons who have completed everything required of them by the court should never have voting rights restored?

Did you read my post? It has nothing to do with whether a criminal has completed his/her/they/them's sentence. It has to do with the democrats trying to early release as my as possible so they can vote. As to whether violent or not, it makes no difference to me. If someone breaks into someone's home and takes their stuff, then they forfeit their right to vote until they have served their sentence and paid restitution to their victims.

Did you read the post you quoted? It was about felons and voting and was a reply to another post about felons and voting.

21% of voting age Black people in TN are paroled/released felons? That's shocking.

If the felon has served their time, they should have their right restored, imo.

ETA: Didn't pay attention to who posted before I replied. No reply necessary.

If you say it enough then it must be true. They only choose like democracy when it works in their favor.
Democracy isn't leaking a Supreme Court ruling to cause chaos.
Democracy isn't saying the right has plans to steal an election 2 years away

To be honest, I thought they went a little too heavy with the 1/6 messaging. For the people that are concerned about that, we were already voting for liberals or moderates anyways. Like a sort of preaching to the choir situation. It doesn't move the needle for most swing voters.

Somewhere in Louisiana, James Carville is banging his head on a desk shouting, "It's the economy, stupid!" He's an a*s, but he will probably be right when all is said and done tonight.

Yep.

I replied without awareness of who posted. Even on the surface, the tweet was hard to believe.
