As a Washingtonian... this bothers me. It's one thing to argue that inmates should have the right to vote (but in this state at least they should grow up knowing that if you screw up badly enough, you lose that right), but another to argue on racial discrimination. I'm sure there is some level of discrimination (goes back to that lovely judgement thread) that's undeniable despite good intentions... but they weren't sent to prison just so the majority would get the vote.
If it happens, okay. I'm not super opinionated on the issue of whether felons should be able to vote. I understand why they can't, I understand arguments for why they should. But to tie it to discrimination like this just feels dirty to me.
