    The article is misleading. Currently no state just blanket removes your right to vote just for a felony conviction.

    Some states, like Mississippi, will revoke it for specific felonies like statutory rape and murder (although their list is a bit longer than others), but if you got a felony for something like having too much weed you won’t lose it.
