How Convenient: In Virginia, Felons Will Vote in November

There is more than one way to commit voter fraud, and Clinton toady and governor of Virginia, Terry McAuliffe, is perfecting a newly emerging tactic. He has issued an executive order removing voting restrictions for convicted felons. His order will allow over 200,000 felons to register to vote in the November election. Unsurprisingly, registration started immediately.

Nearly all states have restrictions on felon’s voting rights. These laws are being criticized because they supposedly affect blacks disproportionately, and are likened to the literacy test or poll taxes that served as impediments to minorities in the past. The Democrats are losing the Voter ID fight, but you can’t say they aren’t resourceful about drumming up whole new batches of voting constituencies. The felons! Why didn’t we think of this sooner?!

McAuliffe believes that his reason for his latest executive order (this is his second order restoring voting rights; he already ordered 18,000 felons) was to right a historical wrong in that voting restrictions are as old at the Civil War. He is falling in line with a growing movement that promotes the idea that felons need to feel more a part of society; apparently it’s actually rehabilitative to engage in voting. Who knew?!

The order includes those convicted of violent crimes, including murder and rape. There is no way to know how many of the newly eligible voters in Virginia will register. “My message is going to be that I have now done my part,” Mr. McAuliffe said.

Nationally, an estimated 5.85 million Americans are denied the right to vote because of felony convictions, according to The Sentencing Project, a Washington research organizations, which says one in five African-Americans in Virginia cannot vote.

Only two states, Maine and Vermont, have no voting restrictions on felons; Virginia is among four – the others are Kentucky, Florida and Iowa – that have the harshest restrictions.

Since the order is only retroactive, McAuliffe will be issuing new orders every month to bring more poor felons into the folds of civilized society through voting rehab. No one should ever have to feel left out.

Somehow, regardless of the color of the felon’s skin, I don’t imagine most of them have ever put much thought into being civic minded. And with the state of our prisons, it’s unlikely that they gained an appreciation for the American system of government while doing their time.

In theory, the idea of restoring voting rights to felons under certain circumstances is not offensive, but it’s the pretext used by the Democrats that is so disgusting. They could not care less about the benefit for the felon, they just want to gain dominance at the ballot box. And in this case, this is a direct shout out to Terry’s friend, Hillary. He just bellowed: Virginia is for Lovers, of Hillary.

    If a felon has served his/her/its time and is no longer under probation; he/she/it enjoys the freedom to vote, etc.
