I mean say what you want about it, there was a time in history where there were restrictions on voting, and there were reasons for those restrictions. At one point in time you had to own property in order to vote, and that is one of the reasons why women did not have the vote, the deeds were not in their names.
Age restrictions make sense, I would say the voting age should increased, but I am partial to the argument that men that can join the army and fight in a war at least ought to have the right to vote. I don't think prisoners should vote, I don't think ex-convicts should vote, but I see the need for being specific here.
You're probably right to be concerned about convictions for bogus crimes disenfranchising the vote among a targeted group, we all see how left wing some of the courts are, both in the US and in Canada. Perhaps loss of the vote should be dependent on the crime?
