The massive vote fraud I’ve warned about that would get Hillary elected.

And VA is only the beginning.

If Trump loses, it won’t because because we had a clean and fair election.

> Not felons who prevented the victim from voting ever again, as a start.

That’s a good point. The penalty for that should be death.

“I’ve got to agree that a felon who has served his time should be given his rights.”

He’s given his ‘rights’ the DAY HE DIES. That was part of the deal in Virginia - you do the crime, you serve the time, and you NEVER vote again. EVERY FELON knew this (or should have known this) before whacking someone in the hood.

I’m sick of people that claim to be on our side trying to find ways to increase the Democrat vote - no different than the RINOs pushing Amnesty or Billy Crystal trying to engineer Hillary’s victory.

Hopefully the courts ENFORCE THE LAW, but that doesn’t seem to happen too often.

In the end, it would cost less, not only in money, but in human suffering, to actually make efforts to do that.

There's nothing bad people would like more than for good people to donate their lives to them. It's a mistake - on soooooo many levels.

A good point indeed. Voting should be limited to stakeholders.

The only felons who will be granted the privilege of voting will be those who live in a state run by a Democrat governor. Felons are democrats’ natural constituents. Any Republican who agrees with this conspiracy...IS NUTS!

Trump derided President Barack Obama as “incompetent,” termed Clinton “crooked,” and called Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., “Pocahontas.” Warren has said she has Native American heritage.

Isn’t it cute how the presstitutes are still trying to push the idea that Trump is making fun of Warren’s Indian heritage with the hope that people will see him as a racist for that, when of course he is making fun of her false claims instead? I’ve come across people who actually believe that he is mocking her for being part Indian! It’s ridiculous.

“He won’t win,” Jarrett said of Trump.

It’s just like the press to end on a bright note. I think it was a bad idea to hold a rally in Richmond at night on short notice, especially during the lull between the primaries and the conventions. I woudn’t hang out in Richmond that late at night myself. Glad to see though that he’s getting some of the Cruz and Rubio supporters onboard and that he’s committing to work hard to win VA.

Beware the law of unintended consequences.

How much power should the government have?

If the government can limit rights of felons, and can define who is a felon, then they have the power to deny anyone their rights.

As with 2nd amendment rights, voting is one of our few recourses against an overbearing government.

Yes, we can have laws that limit rights under certain circumstances, but they must be very specific and defined by we the people through the legislature.

The executive branch should never have this type of discretion, and lately the judicial branch seems entirely unfit to judge these things as well.

Unlike Mittens who dropped out of sight until the convention, Trump is going to run an unconventional campaign.

Usually, candidates don’t hit the campaign trail until after their convention but Trump is ripping apart the old playbook.

He doesn’t intend to play by any one else’s rules. He loves being unpredictable.

That may be, but it’s not a given. Trump is popular among white working-class Democrats and Independents in the rural parts of the state and the small towns. If he gets a large chunk of these non-Republican voters, plus high turnout among Republicans throughout the state, he can still win it.

Yes, I’m very glad to see that he has the “fire in the belly” to win. If he loses, it won’t be because he didn’t try his hardest to come out victorious.

Prison is punishment for being caught and convicted of an immprisonable crime. A time limit (or not) is set by the judge for incarceration. Various parole boards can increase or decrease time served. Some consideration is given for the prisoner’s attitude and behavior. Rehabilitation is the role of society, not the prison system.

He can consider them individually. But I think they must have ask for it with a letter. These people will also sit on juries. That is a very bad idea. Just because,someone gets out of prison does not mean they are rehabilitated. Most go back to prison.
