Prisoners in most countries can vote, to stop exactly things like this happening.


Prisoners can vote, it’s people with felonies in and out of jail that have a hard time voting in a lot of states.


Not in the US. Felon prisoners in DC, Vermont, and Maine can vote. That's it: https://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/felon-...


You don’t have to be felon to be in jail/prison. There are a lot of people locked up that didn’t commit felonies.
