Gov. Terry McAuliffe has illegally granted voting rights to 60,000 convicted felons in the key swing state of Virginia, a move that could give Hillary Clinton a victory in that state—and possibly the White House—unless supporters of Donald Trump get out to the polls on Election Day. Like many states, the Virginia Constitution provides that if a person commits a felony, with their lawbreaking, they forfeit the right to vote for candidates who will make and enforce those laws. But it also grants the Virginia governor clemency power to pardon criminals and commute sentences, including the power to restore voting...

She wouldn't go away. Isn't that what you want in a president of the United States? Someone that won't back up, won't go away, won't give up?" Kaine asked. . . . Kaine was joined at his rally in Fairfax by Vice President Joe Biden, who assured supporters that the country's future has never looked brighter. "We're America, we don't scare easily. We're America, we never bend, we never bow, we never break," Biden said.

Bundlers for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign joined Clinton ally and Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe in donating to the state senate campaign of Jill McCabe. The Wall Street Journal first reported on donations from Common Good VA, McAuliffe’s political action committee, to McCabe’s Virginia state senate campaign in 2015. McCabe is the wife of Andrew McCabe, the FBI deputy director who helped in the investigation into Clinton’s email practices. McAuliffe contributed $467,500 to McCabe’s campaign through his PAC, making her the third-largest recipient of contributions from McAuliffe in 2015. The Virginia Democratic Party provided an additional $207,788 to McCabe in the...

The winner of the U.S. presidential election will be determined by about 17 swing counties, with a total of about 500,000 swing voters between them. The American public has heard that 12 swing states will determine who will be the next president. But a book, Presidential Swing States: Why Only Ten Matter, by Hamline University Professor David Schultz, who also edits the Journal of Public Affairs Education, predicts a very small number of America’s 3,142 counties and county equivalents will tip the balance. In Ohio, it’s Hamilton County, home to Cincinnati; In Pennsylvania, the key counties are Bucks and Chester...

The news that Virginia’s Governor Terry McAuliffe had secretly pardoned 60,000 felons in his state came as a big surprise to many people. Nevertheless, it can be seen as a sign of desperation and a move that is might be more bark than bite. From what we are able to piece together, McAuliffe used a mechanical pen to sign 60,000 pardons and therefore give voting rights to worst people in his state. That pardon went to murderers rapists robbers kidnappers and even child molesters with the hope they would vote for Hillary Clinton and guarantee him a place in a...

Donald Trump is slightly leading Hillary Clinton in Florida, Ohio, Nevada, and North Carolina, while Clinton is slightly ahead of him in Colorado, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, according to new battleground state polls from Axiom Strategies and Remington Research Group.

LEESBURG, Virginia — Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump addressed a packed after-midnight rally at the Loudon Fairgrounds early Monday morning, in a speech he dubbed the “Midnight Special.” The text was Trump’s stump speech and closing argument — repealing Obamacare, “draining the swamp” of corruption, and building the “wall” — but the context was a room full of thousands of people, and many hundreds more outside, standing in the 45-degree cold for hours to hear his address. The rally had originally been scheduled for 9:30 p.m., and was packed long before that, but Trump ran late as he packed four...

Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe has granted voting rights to as many as 60,000 convicted felons just in time for them to register to vote, nearly five times more than previously reported and enough to win the state for his long-time friend, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. McAuliffe sought to allow all of Virginia’s estimated 200,000 felons to vote, but state courts said each individual felon’s circumstances must be weighed. To get around that, McAuliffe used a mechanical autopen to rapidly sign thousands of letters, as if he had personally reviewed them, even as his office was saying the total was 13,000....

If I recall correctly, Anthony Weiner initially was the frontrunner in the last New York mayoral election, his first sexting scandal notwithstanding. Only after a second such scandal broke did his campaign collapse. Richmond, Virgina voters seem even more forgiving than New Yorkers. They may be on the verge of electing the Anthony Weiner of the South as their mayor.

By the age of 16, Muhamad As-saddique Abdul-Rahman was already a felon. Thirty-seven years later, he is ready to be called something else -- a voter. When Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe announced his plan in April to restore voting rights to more than 200,000 felons, Abdul-Rahman, who spent nearly two decades behind bars for armed robbery before struggling with drug and alcohol abuse, immediately logged online to check on his voting status. He discovered that, for the first time in his life, he was eligible to vote. "I was not whole when I came out of prison, both politically and...

The most common phrase we hear from Americans about the upcoming election is, “I’ll be glad when this is over.” We all expect it to end Tuesday night. It may not. Since the FBI Director James Comey dropped a bombshell about a renewed investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email scandal, the race has virtually tied. North Carolina, Michigan and Florida have moved from leaning blue, to ‘toss-ups’ as of late this week. It looks at least possible, if not likely, that Donald Trump will win Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, Nevada and Arizona. However, if Trump doesn't win another swing state, he...
