Also, seems kind of scary that this implies a future where so many people are in prison that their vote could actually tip the balance ?

You still don’t explain why it’s, in your opinion, necessary to remove voting rights.
You put that it they shouldn’t remove those for small infractions, but that the administration can’t decide on a line where voting restrictions should be put, and therefore just blanket bans every from from voting.
Also it’s somehow ok that after people have finished their punishment, they should be punished some more by stripping them off even more rights.
All of that greatly reduces chances of rehabilitation and keeps criminals in the criminal sector. I fail to see why even minor infractions should lead to lifelong consequences.

I see, thnx for the clarification. It seemed like you were indeed supporting said practise.
It already separates crimes by sentancing. in the UK if your prison sentence is less than 2 years then you can vote from prison. (Also once your have served your time (including being out on probation/license) you can vote.
