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.
Now, The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group has learned that McAuliffe — who managed Clinton’s unsuccessful 2008 presidential campaign — churned out five times as many letters before the registration deadline than publicly claimed.

The vast majority of those are probably too deep back in the lifestyle that made them felons in the first place to actually go vote.
That doesn’t necessarily a vote won’t be cast in their name though.
If he just did this within the last couple of days, this shows you that VA is DEFINITELY in play.
And I’m sure the people of Virginia will appreciate the massive rise in crime that will be the result of this travesty.
Democrats are definitely much better at seeing the big picture than we are.
Or was in play.
Where are these felons going to live? Are they going to be bused to other states?
This is exactly why the people of Virginia should vote for the Law and order candidate - Trump!
It is in play.
.
This should be challenged in court!
And the Gov should be impeached. This is a brazen attempt to rig the election.

Good. Then they can vote Republican. Of course, President Hillary will let in so many new Democratic voters from the Third World that it won't matter. Come 2020, even Texas will be a blue state.
But God can see the biggest picture of all.
Of all the Clinton cronies, and there are a TON of them, McAullife is the one that makes me a combination of both sick and outraged. He’s a bucket of scum.
Why should these felons just run out and go vote to make angry granny President? What is in it for them?
If they had a long term outlook, they would not be felons.

>> “Where are these felons going to live?” <<
Same place they’ve been living.
They’re not prisoners, just paroled crooks.

Democrats got this base covered already. All their cronies are on the bench.
And the Gov should be impeached. This is a brazen attempt to rig the election.
"By who and yeah, so what?" will be their answer. And they're right.
Pretty much most of the states are in play.
Complain all you want about the Dems bringing in the illegals, but you have to blame the GOP as well for doing nothing when they had the chance. Reagan granted amnesty, when 9-11 happened Bush did nothing to secure the border.
Dems want the votes and the GOP want the cheap labor for their donor friends. They don’t care because they live in gated communities well away from the mess they created.
There’s a lot of things that “ought” to be done. But they aren’t, because the power is absent.
