Good addition to the convo.As to original post containing the tweet that TN is suppressing voters by not allowing felons to vote. Whole thing is misleading, it doesn’t tell you that felons can indeed have their voting rights restored if in good standing of the court (costs and fines paid, time served, probation completed, child support paid) I see no suppression there. I in fact find it appropriate at every level. If and when a convicted felon has met all of those obligations and is in good standing he/she should by all means then be granted their voting rights again, to not restore that right would then be suppression in my belief.
But you haven't explained why child support should be tied to voting. Being the only state to do that seems a bit offAs to original post containing the tweet that TN is suppressing voters by not allowing felons to vote.

Imagine being a fully formed adult who thinks one side is completely malignant and the other side is completely benevolent,Republican Russia lovers expect to win majorities in our Congress. God help America. Republicans are out to destroy our Republic, and they might just do it. If we lose it, we might never get it back.

Why do I have to explain it ? I didn’t make the law. Not paying child support in TN as I understand it is tied to all of your rights in the state by law. Your driving privileges as well as your voting privileges are affected by child support by law. I didn’t make the law, but I have no problem with it. Do you ? You think a dead beat Dad out there somewhere impregnating multiple women and taking responsibility for none of them should have the right to vote on legislators ?
