FELON? Yes. Yed, Then NO VOTE!!! PERIOD!!!!!
Should be forever.
If she is so interested in civic duty, she can pick up paper/trash off the streets, the beaches and in the parks.
My husband did that for quite a while. He hated to see parks and beaches look like pig sties.
While I understand where they’re coming from on this, I would MUCH rather have had them argue that the governor’s action constitute a pardon and all the felons now not only have voting rights restored, but gun ownership rights as well.
It would be much more illuminating to see liberals defend against that. Unfortunately, their current argument just seems petty - what, they’d be fine with it if the governor signed 200,000 pieces of paper?
I know of one person that this got registered to vote for Trump
Sure, lets let such poor decision makers decide how our country is run and we are governed.
“Gov. McAuliffe is entitled to disagree with the policies of the Virginia Constitution, but he is not entitled to nullify those he dislikes,” attorneys for GOP House Speaker William Howell, Senate Majority Leader Thomas Norment and other voters write in their lawsuit.
Excellent point, legally speaking.
But McAuliffe is a good Democrat, and sees what his big boss, Obama, does at the federal level. So he is inspired to do the same at the state level, to just issue an executive order, whether he has legal authority to do so or not. And then dare the courts to try and stop him.
Obama is setting a standard for Democrats all the way down the line, in any public office, to act lawlessly, if doing so results in advancing some liberal agenda.
You’ve either served your time or you haven’t. I’m not crazy about denying God given rights to those who’ve completed their legal obligations.
Let's see. 54 years old means she was born in 1962 and she was 18 in 1980. 18 year olds had the vote before that. So from 1980 to 1989 she never voted. Must not have been very important to her for her to skip several elections.
Or maybe the 'reporter' is simply lying.
I'll take curtain # 2, Alex.
What's the difference between a felony and a misdemeanor ... all crime is crime, and when you've paid your price ... it's over and done with.
So too with guns.
The Rats are assuming that ex-felons will vote for Rats. I’m not so sure.
Felons will be allowed to vote, our corrupt courts will see to that.
It’s not every election that felons get a chance to vote for one of their own.
Why does it matter? Minnesota has a senator elected by felons. The illegality didn’t seem to matter.
