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.

Doesn’t the Republicans control both houses in Virginia? This shows how impotent the Republican Party has become on the local, state and federal level.
Very bad omen for the democrats. For McAuliffe to try a stunt like that, the internal Democratic polls must be showing her getting less than 85% of the black vote and losing the state.
Too many Debbie Downers have infested FR.
But it’s going to be Pyrrhic in the end.
WELL, why can’t a Republican do it? Get them to sign ballots..like the left do.
I really don’t know enough about Virginia to even guess that one.
And that is why they win elections and we don’t.
Well we need some Ulysses Uppers.
IIRC this was challenged in court. He couldn't mass pardon them all. He had to pardon them one by one ... and he did.
Please forgive me if I misremembered this.
The Marxists are pulling out all the stops. They know this is the coup de gras if they can win this election.
Speaking of a spiritual sphere.
You heard how our dear Democrats are now well into explicit black magic.
I remember hearing of individual restorations issued to a goodly sized subset of them, but not literally all.
He should be in jail for Global Crossing. Used to proceeds to give the Clinton a NY house. Then there was the McCabe (FBI) “bribe”. He is from up near where I live in NYS and we know he is scum. Why in the world did VA elect this guy Gov? So they had an opening. But Terrible Terry is using it to stage his ongoing corruption?
Americans may decide to dust off the Declaration of Independence and re-enact it if Trump is not elected.
Kind of more like a coup de disgrace.
But I am still guardedly optimistic. I believe the real grace of the real Lord is really approaching. An upset of evil is coming.
Hugo Chavez played these games once in power to solidify his base.
Add in the thousands of illegals voting in Virginia, Hillary is gaining momentum!
Ok, I get it now - thanks!
Gives new meaning to the phrase “winning by hook or by crook,” mostly by CROOK!
