"Felon" is a technical term for someone who has been convicted of
a crime in a particular category, called a "felony", which is more
serious than the category of "misdemeanors". People who have ever
been convicted of a felony in this country lose their right to vote -
at least in Federal/national elections; the others are up to
the individual states.
