Officials Object To Sex Offenders Voting In New York School Polling Places

Do you think this is politically motivated to get more democRATs registered and voting

  • Well duhhhhh

    Votes: 4 100.0%
  • Of course not. What a racist homophobic thing to say.

    Votes: 0 0.0%

  • Total voters
    4
The Republicans' target specifically is felons pardoned by Gov. Cuomo in May being able to vote in today's primaries.

NY Gov Fredo Cuomo signed an EO to allow convicted sex offenders onto school property so they can register and vote (for democRATs no doubt.)

VALHALLA, NY — Local officials are concerned about an issue that's been getting a lot of traction on social media from New York Republicans in the past two days: the fact that the people pardoned this spring can vote in today's primaries.

State Sen. Terrence Murphy said he received calls from parents worried that a deviant level 3 sexual offender registered to vote at the Hawthorne Elementary School would show up to vote there.

Officials Object To Sex Offenders Voting In School Polling Places


Sex offenders are a core democrat constituency, they have bill clinton, their favorite President sex offender, their hollywood branch of the democrat party is filled with sexual predators and the democrats in the news business are also heavily oriented to sexual predator status......
 
Depends upon the state they are in.

Only a communist would take away a persons rights once they paid their debt to society.

We’ve been over this before. A felony is a lifetime debt to society. Their prison time may end but the civil death is irreversible except through pardon. Who taught you to conflate time served with a debt to society? It has never been so in the legal systems of common law.

Oh horse shit. A 17 year old stealing a car does not owe society a lifetime debt, what a load of fucking bullshit.

You just want as few people voting a possible. I bet you are a gun grabber too and think anyone with a felon should never own a gun.

People like you make me want to puke, you care nothing at all about personal liberty.

It's true I don't have that fetish for mindless voting that you have imbibed. You still confuse the mechanism of freedom with freedom itself. You are like a person who thinks the reason we drive is to put gas in the tank. Probably more tyrannies have been voted into existence in human history than imposed by any other means.
You could read Plutarch if you cared to know more. (Pay special attention to the chapter on Aristides.)

Our common and western law traditions gave us a legacy of liberty. Not your feel goodism and shallow interpretation of freedom.

And once again you take the liberal way out by using the exception to attack the rule. There are mechanisms to deal with such exceptional cases. In fact the executive pardon (another long standing western bulwark of freedom) is in part designed to deal with just such cases.

A felony is a felony. You dont care about 17 year old car thieves. Its a lever to use against our American traditions of felony disenfranchisement which protects civil society from rule by people who have no use for civil society.

Maybe your time could be better spent warning 17 year olds that crime can ruin a life.

What good is your version of liberty when it only applies to those that think and act like you, that is not liberty that is tyranny and that is what you are going for.

Luckily there are far more people that care about liberty than there are people like you and only 13 states take away voting rights forever from felons. With a little work we will get that number down even more.

You never did answer if you were a gun grabber not wanting felons to ever own a gun again. What are you hiding there my little commie?

Got a link to that little tidbit? What law is it written in? I am curious where you came up with it since I have not heard it in my lifetime.
 
“In one oft-cited 2002 study, sociologists looked at voting patterns in Florida during the 2000 election and concluded that Al Gore would have carried the state, and the Electoral College, over George W. Bush had voting rights been extended to people with felony records. The same study looked at 400 Senate elections from 1978 and 2000 and found that seven may have been reversed in favor of Democrats if not for felony disenfranchisement.”

Find the study here.

7 out of 400! :21::21::21::21::21::21::21::21:

You see what I mean by shallow? More interested in defending democrats than truth arent you. Felons give Democrats the edge. Never republicans. It may be a slight edge but apparently it is worth pursuing for them. It doesnt turn every race. But according to the study it always improves the Democrats odds.

And if felons could vote Al Gore would have been President. You ignored that in your dishonest answer.

Couldn't they use seven more senators right now? Or even two more :) Too bad. Kavenaugh is the next SC justice...and the slight edge felons would have given Democrats is something you will have to regret not having.

Felony-level criminals should lose the right to vote permanently as part of the penalty for their crime.

It's ridiculous to let such people choose the direction of the country.

Highly unconstitutional in my opinion.

Someone who steals a car when they are 17 because they were stupid should not be punished for the rest of their life.

A felony-level criminal can join the military and serve their country then they should be able to vote.

I don't think they should lose the right to vote at all, even while incarcerated. You don't lose the fundamental right to marry while incarcerated so why should you lose the fundamental right to vote?

I'd like to see these laws challenged.

I have no problem with them not being able to vote while incarcerated, then again I would not allow them to marry either.

And while we're at it, let's also suspend their right to free speech, their protection against self incrimination, their right to a lawyer, their protections against cruel and unusual punishment....hell, let's go ahead and just eliminate their right to life altogether.

Ahh the link. Nothing exists without the link does it? You could have found it as easily yourself rather than asking me you know? Perhaps looking up "civil death" or "outlawery" or, if feeling especially brave and willing to venture out of your bubble, try "caput lupinum". Use Wikipedia. I'm not asking you to actually read books or study history or to try and really understand anything. Im just directing you to links as you asked. Because you know thats all that is needed to grasp complex subjects...a link and four minutes of intense study will surely be enough to educate you.

As far as the where the laws are written....are you of the opinion, like Golfing Gator , that because you dont like the laws they dont exist? I thought the noxious laws as written were the whole point behind this discussion? Findlaw.com should bring you to the laws on felony disenfranchisement. If not then try Justia.com.

Like, I stated, I had never heard it used. You still didn't answer the question because it is a concept and not a law. Some states use that as justification for disenfranchisement perhaps, but other do not, hence your failure to justify it's significance as it is not universal in application. Simply because you advocate it, does not mean it is correct.

I have a family member who is a convicted felon. Whether you believe it or not, he is a conservative in his politics, and served a considerably longer federal sentence than one can ever be considered in state courts. Why? His crime was discovered by federal law enforcement rather than by the state. He also has lost his right to vote and his second amendment rights, none of which had anything to do with the crime he committed, admitted guilt and served his sentence without incident. Why should he suffer this civil death when offenders in other states do not suffer the same fate?

What happened to equal treatment under the law?

LOL.. Now you are desperate enough to make up sciency sounding objections? Do tell...what is the "margin of error" in this report and where is it cited?

(1) no margin of error is given. You made that up.

(2) a margin of error would apply to each statistical analysis. Not to how many races would have been changed by such analysis.

Once again...the shallowest interpretation possible. Mr Libertarian LOL

Let me give you the real results of this paper, conducted with scientific rigor, which you did not read and will never read.

I wouldnt say keeping track of Mr Libertarian is a sign of anybody's education. You dont make rational decisions. Felony enfranchisement probably would have provided enough Democrat victories to ensure a Kavenaugh never would have happened.
And you would then have been...happy and unhappy? And so very politically pure still.

BTW President Trump says "your welcome".

View attachment 216758


My, poor little child, you read one page of a study and think that tells the whole story. Every study has a built in margin of error as every study has to make assumptions, and those assumptions are never proven, just assumed.

Here is the whole thing since you link only gives one page....https://as.nyu.edu/content/dam/nyu-as/faculty/documents/Democratic_Contraction.pdf

From the study...
Nevertheless, we must also note a number of caveats to these findings.

First, our counterfactual examples rely upon a ceteris paribus assumption-that nothing else about the candidates or elections would change save the voting rights of felons and ex-felons.
Second, our estimated vote choice and turnout analysis matched nonfelons to felons on the basis of region, gender, race, age, labor force status, marital status and education. Although nonfelon voters resemble felons in many respects, we cannot be certain that the experience of criminal conviction itself may not suppress, (or conversely, mobilize) political participation. Our analysis of new survey data on this question provides some reassurance that our turnout and party preference estimates are reasonable, although the Youth Development Study results do not constitute a conclusive test of the effects of felony convictions on political behavior.
Third, our analyses have assumed that felon disenfranchisement laws are well enforced, and that felons and ex-felons do not attempt to vote in disregard of these laws.

You're no better. If you will arbitrarily remove one right just because you can, what's to stop yo from doing the same with other rights? Depriving someone of their rights as punishment for a crime must have a logical basis that contributes to the well being of society. If not, then it's nothing more than a petty tyranny.

The most serious removal or rights is a death sentence, which is [allegedly] valuable to society in that it eliminates the most exceptional dangerous risks faced by society. The effectiveness of the death penalty, and even the appropriateness of its continued use, may be open for debate. But there is no doubt that applying the death penalty as mere legislative or judicial vengeance would be tyranny. The same requirements apply to any other deprivation of rights.

Do you even understand why voting rights are taken away from felons in the first place? It's an old (largely outdated) principle that equates felonies with dishonesty, itself being rooted in the vision of government being divinely established to execute God's will. Serious sin equated to serious crimes, and therefore indicated a severe lack of moral character. Felons were, therefore, people who engaged in the kind of serious offenses that made them wholly and eternally untrustworthy and beyond redemption.

As such, convicted felons were expected to wear an eternal stigma the rest of their lives. They were not suitable for jury duty, nor was their witness testimony admissible in a court preceding. They could be precluded from holding public office and other penalties as well. All of this was based on the premise that their bad moral character made them entirely untrustworthy and beyond redemption.

Over time, this idea has gradually been abandoned. Felons were eventually allowed to testify as witnesses in court, and though their felony history was admissible for purposes of impeaching their testimony a jury was now able to decide for themselves if they found the testimony credible. New rules and precedents would place limitations on how a past conviction could be invoked for impeachment, such as limiting the scope only convictions within the past ten years and excluding convictions that would be more prejudicial than of probative. These new rules indicated a rejection of the beyond redemption hypothesis.

Nowadays, crime is largely (though not entirely) treated as a function of willful behavior, and less as a function of inherent character. People don't become criminals because the devil made them do it, they become criminals because they choose to engage in behaviors that have (allegedly) harmful consequences for society. The deprivation of rights as punishment is based on the removal of the individual from society during incarceration, while upholding the individual's personal rights otherwise. So the convict can be detained and held, they can be denied the right to vote while incarcerated (because they aren't a member of society while incarcerated), and otherwise have their freedoms limited based on "the context of their surroundings." But they cannot be denied rights when there is no substantive benefit to society in general to be gained. Society gains nothing by depriving an inmate of the right to marry.

The problem with post-incarceration denial of rights stems from this and other transitions in the concepts of felony criminal behavior, and its rightful punishments. What constitutes a felony in modern times has very little to do with the value of a person's character, and increasingly has less and less to do with severity of harm to society caused by a behavior. Instead, felony classification has been transitioning into a largely deterrent mechanism, and/or a classification for the severity of sentencing that has been statutorily made available (again, mostly with an aim at deterrence). Non-felonies can often become felonies through escalating classifications for repeat offenses, leading to an increasing proportion of the population to have their rights deprived by decree.

What rights have I supported arbitrarily removing from an individual?
