I wonder how many felons really do vote?

My guess, it's less than 25%.

If its against the law for a felon to vote, then if a paroled felon votes, isn't he in violation of parole?

I think I know the answer. Just thought I'd ask out loud.

Yeah, but you can bet that somebody will pull the lever for the rest of them.

"I wonder how many felons really do vote?"

I was pondering, not neccesarily the felon vote, but the voter registration numbers et al just today.

Let's suppose a 'state' has a million registered voters (from previous stats).

And let's suppose the RATS are able to 'register' (a name and data on a piece of paper ... Mickey Mouse, Orlando) another 250,000 .... (Cut me some slack ... I'm trying to keep this simple)

On election day, the RATS 'say' they 'have' 1 and a quarter million 'votes'.

Their guy loses by a quarter million 'popular' votes.

The Pubbies have a million registered and sign up another two fifty thou.

The RATS look at the final numbers and find only a million RATS voted, the Pubbies find a million and 1500.

The RATS scream "DISENFRANCHISEMENT!" ... we had a quarter million more 'registered' ... we demand a recount ... yada, yada, yada.

Broward county all over again.

The truth is, all they ever signed up were Mickeys and Minnies and Goofies ... and they knew it, but they had this planned all along.

Anyway ... that's what I was thinkin' about today.
