Right now, to the best of my knowledge, the only requirements to register to vote and do so are:

1) 18 years of age or older.
2) Be a US citizen.
3) Not be a convicted felon.

I think "conditional suffrage" is a bad idea. But I also think condition #3 on voting (I know, it's state by state, not federal) is outrageous.

Yeah, I really don't see what condition #3 has to do with it at all.

It's worse than that. Convict political enemies of some vague "undermining national interests" felony and they can't vote you out of office.
