Imagine for a moment that you have been convicted of a crime. You served your time and have met all of the sentencing requirements.

Anderson said Mississippi does not allow people who commit certain crimes to vote. “I don’t agree with lifetime bans”, said Anderson, “but Mississippi’s constitution lists the disenfranchising crimes and the process for restoring voting rights.”
“The bill would restore rights to those who were disenfranchised except murder and rape,” said Anderson. “Currently, there are no exceptions, all disenfranchising crimes result in lifetime bans. The Constitution says that you can only have your rights restored by the Legislature or by a pardon from the Governor. Sounds simple
