The Clinton's tried this also.....went into various asylums, getting people to sign....Holder is playing the race card...at some point Holder, Jackson-Lee etc. will be hoisted on their own petards......

Holder himself is a felon, several times over...he just hasn’t been convicted yet.

Watch Obama sign an executive order under the Voting Rights Act of 1985 claiming that suppression of black felon votes is state level racist voter suppression.

Felons who have served their sentences, demonstrated their repentance and petitioned the governor of their state can have their rights restored.
Holder's claims are just BS...

Why limit it to "ex" cons? Why not just open up a democrat precinct in every prison in America.

The fact of the matter is that 90% of criminals are liberals. It is a liberal mindset (What's yours is mine) that creates criminals.

In Memphis the dems go into nursing homes and into the penal farm and 201 Poplar which is the jail for the entire county and get absentee ballots signed. The nursing home patients are not very aware of what they are signing, and the inmates have lost their voting franchise in TN.

He’ll join Mitchell as AG in Federal prison.

Somebody needs to remind Holder that certain people who have lost fundamental rights did this to themselves when they committed the felony.

Here in Maryland Marton O Malley and his Dem controlled legislature made giving convicted criminals the vote first on their list ~ 2007, as they know which party criminals vote for.

I have complained about it over the years here and had a few freepers reply that they should be able to vote.

One claimed he lost the vote on a gun possession charge, naturally I was skeptical.

I believe there was a lot of that in Florida in 2000—so if Gore had carried the state it would have been with the help of votes from people in nursing homes who had no idea what they were doing when they “voted.”

Most criminals aren't going to stand in line to do their 'civic dudy'. This issue is bogus.

If ex-con's want their voting rights back there's procedure to make it happen. Few to none bother. Holder's doing this to get names on voter registration rolls. That's how democrats do voter fraud. Democrats vote the people who don't show up to vote.

In the old Chicago voter fraud scam that got Kennedy elected, those doing the fraud thought of it 'helping people vote who couldn't make it to the polls'.

Democrats don't 'vote' the dead on purpose - voting the dead is an accidental byproduct of the way dems vote people who don't show up. "The dead" never show up on election day... Democrats who cheat wish there was a way to purge the dead from voter roles because "the dead vote" is an indication of how much voter fraud has gone on that precinct.

“Most criminals aren’t going to stand in line to do their ‘civic dudy’. This issue is bogus.”

I disagree. This move will open up totally new avenues for fraud.

Excerpts from the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE fact sheet.

• African Americans now constitute nearly 1 million of the total 2.3 million incarcerated population
• African Americans are incarcerated at nearly six times the rate of whites
• Together, African American and Hispanics comprised 58% of all prisoners in 2008, even though African Americans and Hispanics make up approximately one quarter of the US population
http://www.naacp.org/pages/criminal-justice-fact-sheet

IIRC, About twenty years ago the director of the New York state prison system stated, in response to a reporter’s question, the reason there are so many blacks in prison is because they commit more crimes. The then Governor of the state, Mario Cuomo, quickly apologized and had the director also retract/apologize.
Sad isn’t it, of course NY State swirling counter clockwise in the commode of progressivism.

I agree, but the fraud will be done by political operatives, NOT by individual criminals standing in line to vote. Did you read all of my comment?

Holder just has his panties in a wad because a huge number of "his people" are criminals, drug dealers, and general undesirables.

Why should we - the decent, law-abiding, Constitution- loving citizens of America - allow the worst in our society to vote? It's bad enough legions of Holder's parasites without obvious felonious criminal records get to vote themselves and their enablers into office anyhow when all they want is more free sh!t and somebody to give it to them.

Allowing any of these people within 150 feet of a voting booth is like eating tapeworm sandwiches for nourishment.

In a Georgetown University speech, Attorney General Eric Holder last week called state laws barring convicted felons from voting racist measures that "strip African-Americans of their most fundamental rights."

Perhaps these offenders should have considered all of the consequences before deciding to become felons, Mr. Holder.
