Hillary has been pushing for the felons to be able to vote this is part of her bill.

Hillary wants Florida to also let felons vote.

This sucks with Iowa being a key swing state in 08 100,000 felons give the democrats a lot of new voters.

That's assuming (1) they don't re-offend and get locked up again and (2) they actually exercise their right to vote. Don't get me wrong, I object to what Vilsack is doing, but I don't know that it will have a material effect in '08 given the much-improved performance of the GOP in that state.

There is a crazy incongruency existing in Florida voter law, which I'm surprised has not yet been exploited.

To Register You Must:
* Be a U.S. citizen.
* Be a Florida resident.
* Be 18 years old (you may pre-register if you are 17).
* Not now be adjudicated mentally incapacitated with respect to voting in Florida or any other state.
* Not have been convicted of a felony without your civil rights having been restored pursuant to law.
* Not claim the right to vote in another county or state.
* Submit your valid Florida driver's license number or Florida identification card number. If you do not have either of these, you must provide the last four digits of your Social Security number.

Make note of the bold clause. It allows a felon who has moved to Florida from a state which restores voting rights to participate in Florida elections, while barring home grown felons.

I'm surprised hitlery hasn't caught this angle yet.
