EXCLUSIVE: Virginia Gov. Pardons 60,000 Felons, Enough To Swing Election
Daily Caller ^

Posted on 11/06/2016 10:56:36 AM PST by ameribbean expat

Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe has granted voting rights to as many as 60,000 convicted felons just in time for them to register to vote, nearly five times more than previously reported and enough to win the state for his long-time friend, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

McAuliffe sought to allow all of Virginia’s estimated 200,000 felons to vote, but state courts said each individual felon’s circumstances must be weighed.

CNN says felons voting is a great thing:

And Obama is encouraging non-citizens to commit a FELONY by voting in a federal election:

Fortunately, most felons probably won’t vote.

This is outright fraud. I wonder if anyone will bother to stay this in court. I am assuming Trump has lawyers. Gov McA$$hole committed fraud by tripling the numers he gave to the Federal Courts. Why should all US citizens have to pay for the actions of this clown. He should be in prison anyway for his prior activities.

It’s funny that we all understand that convicted felons will automatically vote Democrat.

And he has already arranged for their votes to be cast for them so that they are not inconvenienced in any way.

The good governor used his autopen to fill out their ballots for them too.

The governor may not understand, but not all felons are liberals.

This is transparent corruption at the highest level. Can’t wait to see Terry Macualiffe frog-marched out of the Governor’s mansion in handcuffs next January.

Take them to court! Lock them up! (A firing squad at dawn might be appropriate.)

Scumbag that McAuliffe is, this gets laid directly at the feet of the GOPe who refused to help Ken Cuccinelli in the VA governor’s race.

Just more evidence that the Democrat Party is a criminal enterprise.
