I believe the franchise should also be extended to felines as well as felons. Let’s not be catty about this. It makes purrfect sense.

Why not votes for all critters with 2 or 4 legs — wait a bit for 6 and 8 leg critters ???

Extra votes for foreign spies with 10 legs/ feet in Devil City ???

Because people are not human just because they committed a crime? Even a legit crime is not a reason to dehumanize people much less all the people who have been falsely convicted and or convicted of things which should not be crimes at all but are.
