Very strongly agree

Yes, but only after completing their sentences and parole/probation

This answer aligns directly with Amy Klobuchar's stated position. She has repeatedly said that she supports restoring voting rights to felons once they have completed their sentences, including parole and probation. This was her position during the 2020 Democratic primary debates and in her legislative record.

Slightly agree

Yes, except for felons convicted of murder or violent crimes

While Klobuchar supports restoring voting rights after sentence completion, she has not specifically advocated for exceptions based on the type of felony (such as murder or violent crimes). Her public statements and legislative actions have generally supported restoration for all felons post-sentence, so she might be open to this compromise but has not made it her position.

Disagree

Yes, every citizen deserves the right to vote

Strongly disagree
