re: #252 Decatur Deb

Repealing the 17th Amendment, for a guess.

No, Rand Paul was saying that non-violent felons should have their voting rights restored after staying out of trouble for a set period of time. the Kentucky bill he’s supported would not restore voting rights to those convicted of violent crimes.

To clear, rape is considered a violent crime so the bill would not restore voting rights to rapists.
