Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) spoke out against felon disenfranchisement Saturday at the Heartland Forum in Storm Lake, Iowa, which HuffPost co-sponsored, but she declined to say whether she believes voting rights should be given to people serving out prison sentences.

Once someone pays their debt to society, theyre out there expected to pay taxes, expected to abide by the law, theyre expected to support themselves and their families, she said. I think that means theyve got a right to vote.

While theyre incarcerated, I think thats something we can have more conversation about, she concluded.
