I know loads of adults with no "minor mishaps." It's not just normal to have a criminal record, they had no reason to do that. They just assumed no one was dumb enough to vote for criminals

    I know plenty of people with records. Few of them are white. Fewer still are white, cis, straight, and ablebodied.

    If you look a certain way or dress a certain way, law enforcement tends to look for opportunities to harass or arrest you. So no, I don't think it should be illegal to hold office as a felon. (I'm also against felons having their voting rights taken from them.)
