The Governor of New York has conditionally pardoned dozens of sex offenders, among other paroled felonious criminals, in order to allow them to vote in November.
“Dozens of convicted sexual predators deemed too dangerous to be returned to the community after their release from prison are among the thousands who received conditional pardons from Gov. [Andrew] Cuomo, giving them the right to vote,” according to the New York Daily News.
The conditional pardon, which applies to 24,000 parolees and some of the sickest criminals in the state, riled up conservative legislators in the state.
“This is hands-down the most egregious public policy misstep Andrew Cuomo has made in his eight years as governor, and it shows that he will do virtually anything for a few extra votes,” said New York Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan (R-Suffolk County). “This policy rewards the worst of the worst sexual predators and lowlifes in our society and undermines the integrity of our voting system in every way, shape and form.”

Cuomo must go ping.
Could backfire on him big time ,they might go back to raping or just not vote
Conditional.
The condition is that they must vote Democrat, and probably submit a photo of them doing so.
You think there's a chance? I'll be voting against him, you can depend on that.
Have you seen how he's got his name plastered all over Green Lakes State Park?
Latest is they put in a new huge sign, illuminated at night, on the main entrance on Rt. 290. At the bottom of the sign is "Andrew Cuomo, Governor" in lit-up letters.
I remember when Pataki was governor, the only sign I saw with his name on it was made of plywood, and adorned the entrance of a tiny little state park in Kirkville.
Of course his father has his name on bronze plaques on every rest stop on the Thruway. Not to mention the new Tappan Zee Bridge will be named for him.
For some reason, this really burns me up.
More fodder for Trump to use to turn NY Red.
I hope so.
People even reached their limit with his uncle and ousted him.
I do hear tell there’s a Libertarian candidate who has promised to repeal the Safe Act.

Same idiot who said America was never great.
we needs term limits!
He’s got three daughters with Kerry Kennedy (RFK’s daughter). Twins born in 1995 and another girl born in 1997.
Time for New York, Kalifornia, Oregon, Washington (state & D.C.) and Chicago to leave the Republic!
We don’t want to.
We want our state back and to be part of America.
Absolutely.
Career politicians should never has been an option.
More than likely cuomo is looking for a date.
Think his husband will let him date?
Latest Siena polls for NY House Races
Faso (R) up 5
Katko (R) up 15, this is big change, he was trailing in the last poll IIRC
Tenney (R) DOWN 2, bizarre as hers is the most GOP of the 3 districts going Trump by a wide margin, her challenger though is the best funded of the 3 by far.
Any idea what’s going on with Tenny? Bad polling? Underfunded?
If we hold all three of these, it’s gonna be darn hard for the Ds to take the Hosue.
Here in AZ, the turnout was overwhelming, but was “lackluster” according to a top GOP guy, for Enema’s district House candidate and for McSally’s district.
We need a hold and a flip here between those two and O’Halleran’s.
Meanwhile, Antonio Sabato, Jr. told me, “I believe I will win.” Says his race is in good shape. Ventura wold be a flip.
Still looking at flipping two MN and one NV seat.
“Tenney (R) DOWN 2, bizarre as hers is the most GOP of the 3 districts going Trump by a wide margin, her challenger though is the best funded of the 3 by far.”
Katko always has outperformed the GOP in his district and has the advantage of being not only the GOP nominee, but also on the ballot lines of the Conservative Party, Reform Party and Independence Party (the last of which endorses Democrats maybe half the time, so it’s a big get), which could swing a couple of percentage points towards him. Katko’s Democrat opponent (Balter) is on the Democrat, Working Families Party and Women’s Equality Party ballot lines If Katko loses, then there really is a Democrat “wave”; I think that Katko will win by around 8%-10%.
Faso is a freshman, so it remains to be seen whether he can become entrenched like Katko has. Like Katko, though, Faso will be on the ballot lines of the Republican Party, Conservative Party, Reform Party and Independence Party. Moreover, his Democrat opponent (Delgado) is on the Democrat and Women’s Equality Party ballot lines, but the Leftist vote will be split because one of the losers of the Democrat primary (I think that he was the frontrunner initially) will be on the Working Families Party ballot line and a former school-board member will be on the Green Party ballot line. I think that Faso will win by like 5% or more.
Tenney will have the toughest general election because Brindisi is a strong candidate and will be on the Democrat, Working Families Party, Women’s Equality Party and Independence Party ballot lines, with no other Leftists on the ballot. Tenney managed to get the Reform Party nomination along with the GOP and Conservative Party nods, and will have to work hard to win. Hopefully the “Republican moderates” in the district who sent Sherry Boehlert and Richard Hanna to Congress for all those years will vote for Tenney instead of for the Democrat. I think that it will be a 1%-3% point race.
You, Impy, and fm are always unbelievable fonts of information.
All three of you should be political advisors somewhere. It’s a shame that dicknipples like Steve Schmidt or Cheri Succubus have jobs and you guys aren’t paid millions.
