I’m actually working on a piece on the subject for another publication. I basically agree with Will — though he seems more in favor of reinfranchisement than I am. One of my biggest problems with the whole movement is that it frames the debate away from where I’d like it framed. As longtime readers know, I think standards for voting should be tighter, not looser. But a society which is debating whether or not rapists should get the right to vote isn’t going to debate about whether or not we should raise the voting age or expect people to do their homework before they vote.
