True, they lose a few civil rights, but not all or even most as was implied by the poster I responded to.
I'm not sure where states derive the authority to take away voting rights, though. As far as I know, the Constitution doesn't make mention of such authority. However, most all other civil rights are retained even by felons in the US.
