The Urban Meyer saga seems to have reached its end with the coach returning to the team this week. It's time to look back on our initial analysis of the situation and compare it to that of The Ohio State Investigative Board's published findings.
Can I Vote in Ohio if I Have Been Convicted of a Felony?
In most instances, the answer in Ohio is yes. The common misconception is that if someone has been convicted of a felony then they are not eligible to vote. Ohio, however, is one of a handful of states that allow convicted felons to vote. The only time a convicted felon is not eligible to vote is if they are currently incarcerated as part of their sentence. Upon release, though, the defendant can re-register to vote. One exception, however, is for defendants convicted of a felony related to election fraud-in those instances the defendant is permanently ineligible to vote.
