Right Side News Richmond, Virginia (October 9, 2008) It may not be illegal, but Delegate Jeffrey M. Frederick, Chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia is crying foul over recent press reports about Democratic sheriffs tactic of registering prison inmates to vote in this Novembers election.
Sheriff Stan Barry of Fairfax and Sheriff Vanessa Crawford of Petersburg, both Democrats, have been signing-up new voters from their jail cells who are being held for misdemeanors or awaiting trials on felony charges. Felons lose their right to vote upon conviction.
First we hear about felony voter fraud in Virginia. Then we have state election board employees rushing to restore voting rights to felons. And now, we have partisan sheriffs going into their jails and making sure criminals can vote. Can these people get any more into the gutter? Where is the shame, asked Frederick.

Reminds me of the old parody song that used to be on Rush. It had Paul Shanklin doing Rev. Jesse Jackson singing “Jailhouse Vote”, to the Elvis song, “Jailhouse Rock”!!!
Funny as hell!
Anybody got a copy of that song? Put it right here!
Almost forgot ...
My FAVORITE line in the song has Jackson singing:
“...That man isn’t in there for selling twenty tons of crack!
I think we all know, it’s because he’s black! Let them vote!”
Funny as hell!
