Well this is interesting.

I know that a convicted felon has his voting rights curtailed and they are not always restored upon release again depending upon location.
( btw, in Canuckinstan, even if serving a custodial sentence, they retain the right to vote. )
What I did not know is that a convicted felon is not prohibited from running or winning the presidency.

WTF?

Can somebody please explain the logic used behind this decision?

Logic in US government ? Lol, that’s a good one. Lawmakers, even the ones who cry for the Constitution, are not required to have any working knowledge of how our government (or democracy for that matter) works. But a non elected governmental position usually requires an applicant to pass the Civil Services test.

Well, because you serve your sentence and then its done? Rather than every infraction being a “life sentence” of punishments (in theory)?

It just struck me as strange that you could run for or hold an office that you could not cast a vote for in the election.

IMO - you are still a citizen, therefore you should be able to vote.

<edit> Although I could see the validity of the argument that if you are convicted of treason or sedition etc that you loose your voting rights.

If they make Walmart a drop location, it could be a game changer (I don't mail ours, I put them in the box at city hall).

The previously unreported warrants gave prosecutors access to new Chesebro emails and his private direct messages on Twitter. The warrants make clear that Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is still gathering new information in her probe, nine months after she charged the state’s fake electors with forgery and other crimes for signing certificates falsely claiming Donald Trump won the state in 2020.

I hope Smartmatic has an abundance of evidence to support that claim.
read the article?

"The new filing refers to specific text messages in which Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy referred to Trump’s attorney Sidney Powell, which Smartmatic says were deleted from Ruddy's devices but saved by other witnesses and provided to the plaintiffs during discovery. "
