The NYT promotes new voting group

The NYT editorial page promotes this new voting group for the Democratic Party:
The laws that strip ex-offenders of the right to vote across the United States are the shame of the democratic world. Of an estimated five million Americans who were barred from voting in the last presidential election, a majority would have been able to vote if they had been citizens of countries like Britain, France, Germany or Australia. Many nations take the franchise so seriously that they arrange for people to cast ballots while being held in prison. In the United States, by contrast, inmates can vote only in two states, Maine and Vermont.
Notice how the NYT can't use the word "felon".They just want to airbrush it out of existence.The NYT likes France more than New Hampshire.New York Times
