Actually, CSA citizens did lose their right to vote I think. I believe they made them swear an oath or something before being able to vote again. I am not sure if everyone actually did.
How you define a felony is another matter altogether and is probably one in need of changes. No one respects a law unless the punishment is a felony these days so everything becomes a felony. It just erodes the overall system.
Seems like we have felon rights, criminal punishment issues, and criminal punishment definitions all being argued together here. We can fix all three or fix one at a time, but don't bash someone's solution to one question over problems resulting from another. Nothing will ever get done that way.
