id say that letting convicted criminals vote could help get convicted criminals elected but uh... yeah

Doesn't work that way in reality. It is more about people being convicted on small charges en mass to keep them from voting.

Or

I don't think most Trump voters in 2024 were convicted criminals.

If you can take rights away from one person, you can take those rights away from anyone. If voting is a right, then it must be a right for all.

If prisoners can vote for someone to free themselves from prison, you've jailed too many people and a fuctional society shouldn't be jailing that many prople.
