Sanders: Convicted Felons Should Not Lose Their ‘Right to Participate in Our Democracy’

EXCERPT:

SANDERS: "If you commit a terrible crime, you are going to pay the price. But that does not mean that your right to participate in our democracy is taken away from you.
(Cheering and Applause)
I was roundly criticized for this, but you know what? Once you begin taking away somebody's right to vote, you're moving down a slippery slope.”
