Virginia Gov. Pardons 60,000 Felons, Enough To Swing Election

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.

Clinton’s Bag Man tried to blanket amnesty 200,000 felons and the court overturned it. He then issued individual orders for those who had registered in the interim, 13,000. Looks like he went beyond that and wrote 60,000 orders.
I am skeptical that many of those actually registered.
Registration ended mid October.
(I know of three that are voting Trump)

He should be in jail for being the Clinton’s Bag Man for the illegal Chinese campaign money from the 1996 election and Global Crossing.
He got elected because the VAGOP is run by Cheap Labor Express Republicans who undermined his opponent at every opportunity.

He didn’t release anyone, these were people who had served their time and he gave them back their voting rights.

Hillay Clinton will represent felons well.

And with that, Virginia is off the board for Trump. A couple more states that don’t have paper ballots as a paper trail, and the election goes to HRC.

Because most felons ARE Democrats!

Democrats are definitely much better at seeing the big picture than we are.

It's not that democrats can see the future better than republicans, because, if we wanted to, we could do the same kind of crooked and sleazy and unethical and immoral actions. But, we have a lot more character and dignity than democrats do. After all, democrats are the party of "doing whatever it takes". Nothing is immoral and/or unethical or wrong; with democrats, it's all about passing and/or imposing their agendas on the people, and nothing is allowed to get in their way. Evil is like that, and republicans will never compete against that kind of evil, therefore, we can expect a lot of big losses along the way towards doing the right thing.

If the GOPe would have spent $3.86 helping their candidate that *almost* won against the Punk, he would nothing. Instead he’s literally a potential POTUS candidate. You almost want to think they do this stupid stuff on purpose.

I’m sure all of these guys had to complete a ballot voting for Hillary before they got their pardon.

[wyowolf]

Exactly

[Carry me back]

That thug can keep dreaming. They are trying to supress voter turn out. Virginia will go for Trump easily, unless there is massive voter fraud.5- 10% Trump Victory !

But, we have a lot more character and dignity than democrats do.

And we can reflect on our character and dignity when the Clintons are rewarded for their graft, corruption and obstruction by being returned to the White House.
