Best Answer

A misdemeanor offense will always remain a misdemeanor offense regardless of how many individual misdemeanor offenses you may commit. If you live in a state that has a "3-strikes-and-you're-out" law - after the conviction of your 3rd misdemeanor any subsequent crime after that could be prosecuted as a felony under the "3-strikes" law.

Generally, no. Any workarounds would depend upon the state in which the court reporter with a felony is working in.

Some states have court reporting licensing boards and laws that prevent a court reporter with a felony to work.


In the US what disqualifies you from voting legally?

In many states, a felony conviction for anything removes your voting rights. A conviction on most felony offenses will cause you to have your voting rights removed or curtailed. I believe that there are at least 2 states that allow felons in prison to vote but the remainder do not. Some states have provisions in their law to allow a convicted felon (once they have served their time) to have their record altered (expunged) and they can once again regain their rights, but not all. you will have to research your own states law on this matter.
