Before I even read the article I KNEW it would be about how it's not fair that so many blacks are in prison.

Because when isn't it about race with these guys?

He wants felons to vote? Why not, they’re serving in the administration.

[Gritty]

Why shouldn’t felons vote? After all, most of them are “his” type of people.

[Duckdog]

Everyone in this administration makes me sick!!

[Verginius Rufus]

The 14th amendment recognizes the right of states to deny the right to vote to persons guilty of a crime...not that Holder and Obama won’t continue to try to find a way to force states to give felons voting rights.

[informavoracious]

Yes, then they can vote to enact legislation so their future criminal acts are no longer felonies. Or crimes at all.

[elkfersupper]

Oddly enough, I also want felons to vote - and to be able to own firearms - after they have served their time and fulfilled all their other obligations imposed by our criminal justice system as a result of their felonious activity.

The Boston Tea Party participants would have been "felons" in their day.

Criminals are big on doing their ‘civic duty’ and voting? Not likly. That's not Holder's issue.

What Holder wants is more registered democrats to ‘vote’ if they don't show up at the polls.

That's how dems do voter fraud. They vote the people who don't show up. It's why the dead are ‘voted’. They don't show up.

How many ‘dead’ vote is a good indicator of how much fraud is going on. The lower the ‘dead vote’ the lower the fraud necessary to win the election by a small margin.

If a felon has his right to vote restored, then they should restore ALL CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS TO FELONS INCLUDING GUN OWNERSHIP.

[RIghtwardHo]

Quite frankly, as a former Prosecutor, all felonies are not created equal. I simply don’t think that all felons should be permanently barred from voting. There are many non-violent felonies that shouldn’t require that extreme a penalty.

[drypowder]

characteristics that most felons possess; they are lazy, most are dumb and they think the world owes them something and if they don’t get it, they take it. Except for the dumb part in most cases, that also describes DC politicians.

[43north]

“African-Americans represent more than a third of the estimated 5.8 million people who are prohibited from voting...”

That means that two thirds of them ARE NOT african “americans”.

[sport]

They have been voting Democrat for years.

[TigersEye]

Restore their 2nd Amendment rights too.

[StonyBurk]

True all Holder is is a Communist Party washing machine— remember the good old days? A”useful idiot’ a “black agitator” a Community organizer. You do know hat felons are seen not as felons but undocumented Democrats.... people who can be Used’ to restore power to the Democratic Party plantation —and in this holder is just being the House nigga, delivering what his massa has requested.

[Count of Monte Fisto]

I think felons, once deemed fit for society, should have all their rights restored once they've paid their dues.

Felons deemed unfit for society should be executed or exiled.

[righttackle44]

He’s setting the stage so that he can vote when he’s in prison.

[Linda Frances]

This says everything about democrat voter. They are low value voters.
