The fallacy underlying the "scrubbed voter roll" theory is that these people would have voted in any event. Voter participation in this country even with respect to average Joe Citizen non-felons is abysmally low. Is it reasonable to expect that convicted felons (albeit ones who have served their sentences) are sufficiently civic minded that they are likely to have voted en masse?

I think you and I know the answer to that question, even if I a Crap Minister (American Spirit rearranged) and some of the other demolibs don't.
