California jailbirds get to vote starting next year

With the stroke of Brown’s pen, there could be up to 50,000 new voters in California

Just days ago California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) signed into law a measure that effective next year reinstates the voting eligibility of felons on probation or under community supervision. Inmates in state and federal prisons are not covered by the new law.

Apparently “community supervision” means “incarcerated in a county jail.”


TOPICS: Government; Politics; Society
KEYWORDS: california; felons; govjerrybrown; voters

How are things in Austin?

Loony as ever. Glad I left that place years ago.

Sorry ... meant no offense to fellow FReepers from out there. But the governing officials in Cali are off their rockers.

No position on this, but why should someone permanently lose voting rights? Once they are out of the prison system they have paid their penalty.

If I was king for a day I would only allow people that had W2s, or retired, vote.

No problem...joking with you. Remember the Gipper, though! Shhhhhhh...there are still isolated pockets behind enemy lines!
