Jailed voters should be rehabilitated and freed before their voting rights are restored!
DALLAS — On April 24, Texas executed white supremacist John William “Bill” King. He was a murderer, but he also would have been a voter—if Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders had his way. King was found guilty of the brutal 1998 murder of James Byrd Jr., a black man, by chaining him to the back of a truck and dragging him to death. With his conviction and incarceration, King forfeited several of his rights and freedoms—including the right to vote.- Sunday, May 12, 2019
