Question

Which of the following persons cannot vote?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is B. A person in jail cannot vote.

Explanation:

Felony disenfranchisement is the process in which a person convicted of a crime loses his or her right to vote. In the U.S, this is not a nation wide ruling, the government has granted authority to each state to decide whether or not to restrict felonies the right to vote, and on what grounds, however, most of them do.

States such as Colorado, Indiana or Nevada, restore the right to vote when the person is released from prision. In other states such as Texas or Washington, disenfranchisement only ends after incarceration and any probation sentence is complete. In other states it is circumstantial, meaning it depends on the crime. The only two states that allow people to vote during incarceration are Maine and Vermont.

Answer 2

B because you are not a part of the community anymore not even a Felon can vote
