conix, SoxFan, said you don't understand what you read, and that post of yours suggests that is true .. you just repeated ""...
ex-cons CAN'T vote in most states."", yet in the first paragraph in your link your author Tom Murse says the opposite.

The right to vote is considered one of the most sacred and fundamental tenets of American democracy, and
even people convicted of felonies, the most serious crimes in the penal system, are allowed to vote
in most states. Convicted felons are even allowed to vote from behind prison bars in some states.

SoxFan gave you more on that. So two options: either you didn't understand that, or you didn't read it.

I'm thinking in that case maybe you only read the heading, and the first sentence.

"Where People Convicted of Felonies Can Vote in the U.S.
Millions of Americans Convicted of Serious Crimes Can't Vote"

Your ball.
