While discussing whether or not felons should be given the right to vote, Tamera admitted she was against the idea. “If you committed that crime you've lost your free right to vote because technically you are not a part of the free society anymore,” she said. “You've lost your freedom.”

“I feel like if you've done something that's not right, there is punishment for it,” she continued. “I feel like that's right, taking away voting, is a part of the punishment as harsh as that sounds."
