Reclaiming the Right to Vote

“No taxation without representation” was a major tenant of freedom when the United States was founded. However, across the 200+ year history of this country, various groups of people have had to fight to obtain this fundamental right. Right now, system-impacted individuals and their allies are engaging in this same fight! Individuals who have been convicted of a felony cannot vote while they are inside AND they are also barred from voting while they are on probation, parole, or on extended community supervision. We are citizens, we pay taxes, and we deserve our right to vote.

I support our Wisconsin Governor in using an executive order to restore voting rights to people on community supervision for a felony conviction.

The right to vote is fundamental to our nation’s democracy and should be guaranteed to every citizen.
One out of every nine African Americans are disenfranchised in comparison to one out of every 50 Wisconsin voters.
Research proves that restoring voting rights upon reentry helps lower recidivism and assists with rehabilitation and reintegration into society.

We the undersigned, are concerned citizens of the state of Wisconsin who urge the Governor to act now using Executive Authority to restore voting rights to people on Felony supervision regardless of their supervision status.
