Talk:Felony disenfranchisement in the United States

Reform efforts section
This section seems to be more focused on the positions of former and current politicians/legislators, rather than reform efforts. Perhaps we rework the title? ScoutHarris (talk) 03:33, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

Moving info around
This information is currently in the Classifications sections. I think it's better suited for the State reforms section: "In February 2016 the Maryland General Assembly restored the right to vote for more than 40,000 released felons, overriding a veto by Governor Larry Hogan. Maryland's Senate approved the bill on a 29–18 vote, while the state House of Delegates voted 85–56 in favor of it on January 20. Convicted felons under parole or probation had their right to vote restored. The law went into effect in late March, one month before the state's April 26 primaries.

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy has also signed a new law restoring voting rights to anyone under parole or probation starting in March 17, 2020, just in time for the June 2020 election."

Orphaned references in Felony disenfranchisement in the United States
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Felony disenfranchisement in the United States's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "NYT1": From Felony disenfranchisement in Florida:  From Rand Paul:  From Henry Browne Blackwell:  From Lady Constance Bulwer-Lytton: New York Times, 24 January 1910, Monday, "JANE WARTON" RELEASED.; Home Office Acts on Learning She Is Lady Constance Lytton. 

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 02:45, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

Holding federal office with a felony
This article doesn't make it clear whether or not former felons can run for federal office. The debate started after discussing the grand jury convened against Donald Trump. Came here to find out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.64.104.216 (talk) 17:50, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
