[House Atreides]

And so the Maryland 'RATS add another block of dependable 'RAT voters.

[ScottinVA]

Hard to understand why Maryland voters would elect a stand-up guy like Hogan, then sh*t on him by handing him a communist legislature.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Hopefully, theses felons’ Second Amendment rights are also “reinstated” by these goofballs. Maryland “deserves” it.

[cyclotic]

The corrupt morons in the General Asylum win another one.

The voters got smart with Hogan, now they need to get rid of the rest of these entrenched politicians.

I never realized just how bad this place was when I moved here until I found out that the State Senate office building is actually named after the sitting Senate President. He has presided with an iron liberal fist since 1987.

[knarf]

Maybe not

Though that thought pattern may have been valid 20 or 30 years ago .... a LOT of good Americans were made to be felons by stupid laws and bad jurisprudence over the years

There's another way to look at "felons" that have "regained a right"

I, f'rinstance, "became" a felon in 1969 ............ 45 years later;

five children, 30 some years born again, faithful husband to one wife, taxpayer ...

I'm still a "felon"

My gun(s) fell in a lake a while back while scuba diving

[knarf]

PS ... the felons your comment conjures don’t vote anyway and never will

[IYAS9YAS]

And so the Maryland 'RATS add another block of dependable 'RAT voters.

If one has served his or her sentence, including any and all probation/parole, and met the terms of the release, then why shouldn't one's rights be returned to him or her?

When you have people who are free to walk about in society, but have to follow a subset of rules because of a prior status, then you have second-class citizens. We are all supposed to be equal under the law. If the person is too dangerous to have his or her rights returned upon completion of his or her sentence, then why is this too-dangerous person being released to live in society again?

[Buckeye McFrog]

Marylanders are being Pavlov-trained on the consequences of voting for Democrats.

[NRx]

Bad idea. I don’t support stripping the civil rights for everyone who made a bad judgement call somewhere in their life. But there needs to be a reasonable period of time following the completion of sentence that demonstrates the Felon has learned from that mistake. In general I think that should be five years for voting rights and ten years for gun rights. And gun rights should only be restored for one time non-violent offenders. Any second offense or record of violence and they are gone forever.

[IronJack]

Now, along with the queers, dykes, gimmedats, union deadbeats, welfare skanks, drug peddlers, assorted freaks, leftowver hippies, and parasites, the Democrats have a new consituency.

It really IS a "big tent." Of course, so was the side show at Ringling Brothers.

[wardaddy]

Should reinstate felons only after all paper is served

Tennessee does that for local voting and limited gun rights restoration

Long guns

[Rome2000]

Disenfranchisement of the parasite class by any means necessary is crucial in order to restore the Republic.

It CAN be done.

It WILL be done.

[VanDeKoik]

So now the guy that molested your kid can now cancel out your vote.

[Eleutheria5]

So they can elect their fellow felons.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Well, Maryland is right next to DC. If they didn’t let felons vote, none of the politicians who live in Maryland would be able to vote.

[Angels27]

Oh well, not like Republicans had a chance in MD anyway.

This country will be luck to survive another 10 years.

Come soon, Lord Jesus!

[umgud]

So Freddie Grey gets to vote?

[b4its2late]

The country as a whole is going down one.

[AllAmericanGirl44]

Soros’ dream come true.

[Dr. Sivana]

Released felons gain right to vote in Maryland following veto override

And that, my friends, is why we have an electoral college.

[Albion Wilde]
