This is misleading. If I was at PC I would show why. If I remember when I get home I'll update.
Update:
Faster to look at info:
> https://ballotpedia.org/Voting_rights_for_convicted_felons
- In two states and Washington, D.C., convicted felons always retained the right to vote: Maine and Vermont.
- In two states, voting rights were restored to a convicted felon immediately upon completion of prison and parole time: California and Connecticut.
- In nine states, felons with certain convictions never regained the right to vote. The government may opt to restore an individual's voting rights. In Arizona, the government must opt to restore voting rights for individuals with two or more felony convictions. Voting rights are automatically restored to an individual with one felony conviction upon completion of his or her sentence.
- In 19 states, voting rights were restored to a convicted felon immediately upon completion of his or her prison sentence.
- In 18 states, voting rights were restored to a convicted felon upon completion of his or her sentence, including prison time, parole, and probation.[4]

I read it as "People with records can't vote" which is false because people with records can vote. It may have just been how I read it though.
