use them you'll lose him All right check the following

00:10

passage Felons felons disenfranchise It's Political left leaning right I

00:27

figured Okay what should jordan do with sentences nine and

00:32

ten to improve the papers organization and hear the potential

00:36

answers I'm here well what to do with sentences nine

00:41

and ten Let's take a look at him first Right

00:42

here A few states have extended voting rights to prisoners

00:46

However several more permanently disenfranchise felons Well the main issue

00:53

here is that a two second paragraph is generally a

00:55

bad idea It's on a total No No But we

00:58

need a good reason to do such a thing And

ten just don't logically fit into the flow of things

01:37

this late in the paper While choice a nails it

01:40

These two senses are a continuation of the proceeding topic

01:44

So there's No reason We can't unite him with the

01:46

previous paragraph It's like returning a lost puppy but with 00:01:49.84 --> [endTime] words Just look at them together
