Well, yeah, but you've got to ask how felons in prison are getting voter
registration forms in the first place.  I doubt there's a stack of forms
on a table in the exercise yard, and you'd think the state wouldn't be
mailing them to CELL 419, PMITA PRISON, 425 JAILBIRD ROW ....



(Of course, they seem to be able to get all kinds of other stuff they're
theoretically not allowed to have.  *shrug*)
