I'm gonna take the weeks, gonna have a fine vacation
I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations
Well I called my congressman and he said "Whoa!"
"I'd like to help you son but you're too young to vote"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

--Eddie Cochran

Cochran's song was ridiculous and funny.  The NAACP is ridiculous and serious, taking its complaint about not letting felons vote to the U.N.  Jamey Keaten has this story for AP.

The way to reduce the number of people who lose their vote for committing felonies is to reduce the number of people who choose to commit felonies.
