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. To get around that, McAuliffe used a mechanical autopen to rapidly sign thousands of letters, as if he had personally reviewed them, even as his office was saying the total was 13,000.

The only surprising thing is that she didn’t figure out some way to make the State Department pay for it with funds looted from the peasant taxpayers.

Why would felons owe anything to the VA governor once they are free..and how will the VA gov verify they voted and for whom ?

Some of these felon's will vote for Trump, unless of course SOMEBODY ELSE VOTES IN THEIR PLACE. I think THAT is the plan, to create 'slots' for fraudulent votes.

The Democrat's most notable FELON is Hillary Clinton.

Fortunately, most felons probably won’t vote.


All they really need are their names. The votes can, and probably will, come from somewhere else.

This rigging has become beyond comprehension. I see this as leading in a very bad direction. People will not allow this election to be stolen from Trump. No WAY!!

Of course, when the King Rat is signing the pardons, what do you expect?

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

Isn’t this TREASON?

I think it gives you a good idea what’s at stake in this election. Weiner’s laptop likely has enough info to lead to arrests of the entire top of Obama’s administration, Hillary, Bill, and many top Republicans as well.

Look at how quickly they attacked Trump and are even voting for write in candidates. Some Republicans are in on the corruption and in on the pedo ring.

I always hear that Felons should get their Rights reinstated once they paid their debt to society.

People with Misdemeanors pay their debt to society, but being a Felon is a whole different issue. The fact that you are a convicted Felon means punishment far above those imposed with a misdemeanor conviction.

Loss of Voting Rights and the Right to Bear Arms have always been what separated the two. I was taught this as a Child. When did the rules change?

This IS a reflection on the Democrat party, yet as blatant an aggression against our laws as this is nothing once again will be done about it.

The Democrats know their way around laws that are obstacles to their travels, and should never be considered to administer the laws, yet once again we see they just don’t care, because they get away with it.

You are a mind reader. My thoughts exactly.

Guys like this do not understand that Trump winning will be safer for even crooks like him. The alternative is Revolution 2.

Trump or Revolution2 — those are the only 2 options now.

And, yes, this just might redefine what a “swing state” is. It might become a state where tens of millions of patriots show up to make sure justice is served on traitors like Terry McAuliffe.

But, on a more optimistic note, Trump just might manage to pull this off. We will know shortly.

Every vote democrats manage to create through scamming and cheating negates the constitutionally legitimate vote of someone else.

[Isn’t this TREASON?]

Yes, but it’s not like anyone is going to do anything about it, and Obama knows it. A Clinton presidency will be the same way.

If I remember correctly, a court threw out McAuliffe's previous attempt to grant a blanket exemption.

So now, he's robo-signing tens of thousands letters, pretending to review each case.
