Most felons commit crimes for monetary gain. I don't imagine many ex-felons are forging papers/identities in order to exercise their right to vote though I might be wrong. There are more eligible voters cheating on their income taxes. Big problem? I think not. There are bigger problems in this country. Let's put your indignation in perspective.

In the link I posted, there were many more eligible voters who would have been denied a right to vote.

Yes, you are wrong. 1. They do not have to "forge papers/identities to vote." They only have to register and vote like anyone else...using their own identity Obviously if they were creating new identities to vote, a list of felons would be of no value. 2. They cannot exercise their "right to vote" since they do not have that right. It is indeed a problem if even one voter is voting illegally, much less hundreds of thousands of felons in this country. There may be larger problems in the US, but not many that go against the founding principle of the nation as much as voter fraud. In you article, the problem is not the fact that there is a list of felons that cannot vote, but that the list is incorrect.
