Pretty sure sleeping rough isn’t a felony, though I could be wrong.
Anyway, disenfranchisement isn’t a bad idea in theory, iff felony crimes are serious enough that one should forfeit participation in civil society. Also requires adequate checks on the judiciary. We don’t have a stellar track record on either of those, though.

Depends on the state. A few years back TN made the news because a lower court ruled it would be an 8th amendment violation, but the State SC overruled and made it a felony.
Then they stop, or make it difficult for felons to vote.
Because they dont want any poor people deciding who’s in charge.

So… Yeah its a felony sometimes.
I am disappointed and unsurprised. Thanks for the info.
you’re right, it’s not a felony. They just get displaced if they stay in the same spot for a few weeks.
