One of the things this guy from Germany was asking is why felons can't vote. One of the reasons states don't allow felons to vote while they're in prison is because they could skew local elections. Most felons addresses are the prisons they are in. If you got a prison with 500 people and they decide to vote in some town election where the population is a thousand people you might have a problem.
There are definitely ways we could mitigate this, but
1: most people don't give a shit about inmates, voting and
2: most inmates don't give a shit about voting.
