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.

It's perjury and vote tampering. These auto-signed pardons misrepresent the governor's review. I assume they are forwarded to the Secretary of State (or whoever controls elections) under the usual penalties of fraud or misrepresentation. Am I wrong?
And, who has standing to complain? Any citizen? The RNC? Or does it have to go through the state DA, controlled by McAuliffe and the Dems?
It is not illegal, but it is an abuse of power.
I subscribe to a Virginia newspaper and what bothers me is that I see nor hear and objection from Virginians. My father was a Virginian and in his day and time such a move as the governor made would have had them marching on Richmond.
Demonicrat Party hacks will vote for them.
IIRC those people were released from prison. The felons in this case are just having their voting rights restored.
I thought felons can’t vote.
Even if 60,000 felons have to been granted the right to vote. It’s too late to do so this election cycle because you must be *registered* to vote in addition to having the right to vote.
I was an election judge in MD. If someone comes to vote who is not registered on the rolls, then they may use a “provisional” ballot to cast their vote after it is verified they are eligible to vote. See link below for requirements for eligibility. However, those ballots are kept separate and are NOT counted in the general unless it is TOO CLOSE TO CALL. But before the provisional are counted, THEY MUST BE VERIFIED AS REGISTERED TO VOTE.
I just don’t see how sending a bunch of illegals to vote will do anything to change the election. It will just cause a lot of headaches to the county Boards of Election.

You’re assuming there are rules or laws in this country.
We are Banana Republic time. They’ll let them vote if they have a pulse. Then cart them somewhere else to vote again.
Trump has to win the states by an extra 10-100k votes each to factor in the fraud.
Yup prolly sent their absentee ballots to their mailing address at viginia state pen
Well, you have to take care of your friends.
The majority of all the county boards of elections across the United States are not corrupt. We do not live in a banana republic.
Thanks
McAwful needs to be sharing a cell with WJC.......across from the Screech and Huma!!
Still more corruption on the Left.
Felons and illegal aliens.
The democrats are shameless.
I would call it treason, yes.
[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.]
Probably right.
Having worked with prison inmates in rehabilitation programs for four years I can assure you 90 percent of them won’t vote. With their rights restored the first thing on the minds of many will be legally obtaining firearms.
SOB....Rot in hell
