Can a convicted felon vote?
[Edit]

Answer 1

I'm certain it depends on the laws of the state in which the felon resides and wishes to vote. I can only speak to the Texas voter qualification law, the Texas Election Code, which I quote verbatum.

"ELECTION CODE Title 2. VOTER QUALIFICATIONS AND REGISTRATION CHAPTER 11. QUALIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS FOR VOTING Sec. 11.002. QUALIFIED VOTER.

In this code, "qualified voter" means a person who:

(4) has not been finally convicted of a felony or, if so convicted, has:

(A) fully discharged the person's sentence, including any term of incarceration, parole, or supervision, or (B) been pardoned or otherwise released from the resulting disability to vote;".j3h.
