That goes against democracy along with not allowing old people or people in prisons. It is opens the pandora's box to now allowing LGBT or people of color to vote by locking them in prison or fixing IQ tests to yield low scores.

Trump goes against democracy, yet here we are. If we stopped letting the low IQ from voting we wouldn't be in the current situation. Those slippery slopes are all nice in theory, but we are in situation where Trump is president. Sometimes it requires doing things that are in the grey area.

You stop that by restricting who you can vote for, not who can vote. No felons could be a nice one.
