He now has a lock on Iowa when he runs for president.
Fits. Radical leftists, pro-aborts, homosexual lobby and now criminals are constituents of the Democrat party. Terrorists should be included in this group as the RATS are doing everything they can to help terrorists, too.
Does IA have that many felons wanting to vote? Isn't there no death penalty law there? GWB won IA by the narrowest of margins in 2004: it trends Democrat for President.
He is doing this simply because Iowa went red in 2004.
Here's hoping the state legislature voids his executive order.
This needs to be challenged in court. Outrageous.
This makes about as much sense as London's mayor giving Osama bin Laden a key to the city. The last people who should be voting in elections are those who have committed serious crimes against their fellow citizens. It would make much more sense to allow 12-year-olds to vote than to allow convicted felons to vote.
I'm curious if the bulk of these are drug possessions by end users.
Iowa is about 2% black, and 25%of Black adults in Iowa are felons that now can vote. This may be enough to sway a close election.
Isn't there no death penalty law there?
No there is not, except for small children who are encounter our free range Iowa Pedophiles.
He can do this with just an Executive Order?
When are the Democrats like Vilsack going to grant voting rights to international terrorists?
Maybe Vilsack has found the solution to the declimning population in Iowa.
State Rep. Deborah Berry, a Democrat from Waterloo.
This lady is all giddy about a huge new registration drive, she predicts a big boost where she lives, She gurantees more people will register.
If I were her and knew I had this many felons in my district I would move. She sounds happy as a pig in slop that all her criminal friends can now vote.
One in Four blacks--25% of black Iowans couldnt vote because of convictions. Since more men are convicted than women it probably means every third man is a felon.Thats pretty gruesome.
But what about the other 44 states that allow it?
This is about the primaries, nothing more. Giving felons the vote is a big Hillary position. (You know, there was a time when a political party would be embarassed to be considered the natural home of felons.)
Why would they do that when they can already vote in 45 states?
Now we need to get the vote in the hands of teens and dead liberals.
Hardly.
44 other states already beat Iowa to it.
Instead of just scrolling past them all, please take a moment to click the applicable state on the Topics screen when posting news of local interest.
That's quite a statistic, if it's true.
