Associated Press- Maine and Vermont are the only states that allows inmates to vote. In Vermont, according to the 1793 Constitution, the only crime for which a person forfeits their right to vote, ironically, is election fraud, "Any elector who shall receive any gift or reward for the elector's vote, in meat, drink, moneys or otherwise, shall forfeit the right to elect.". In both states, inmates are more likely to vote for Barack Obama than John McCain.[1]
