    He led an insurrection against the United States government. To me, that is enough to lose all of your rights.

      Yeah, except it’s also easy to flip that around. What if Trump decided to classify various things he didn’t like as an insurrection, and use that to justify removing voter rights?

      It’s far better to simply allow every person to vote, regardless of their history. That means an oppressive regime can’t game the system in that way.
