Yes, the democrats are pushing hard for the violent, convicted felon vote...

[HappyJoy]

Once you do your time, it's only punitive to withhold someone the right to vote.

Hmmmmm, that's what law is: punitive. Losing your right to vote is part of the deal.

Yep, to me that is losing your right to vote while in prison and you know...getting locked up. After you are out there is not real reason to continue to deny someone the right to vote.

Sure there is. They have demonstrated they lack the competence and the moral fiber to participate in the democratic process.

Competence, No, not without a someone's competence being decided in a court of law which would be separate from a criminal conviction. Moral fiber? I thought you guys didn't like political correctness, if you had your way Elvis wouldn't have been able to vote in the 50s since he didn't fit moral societal standards in much of the South.

Not in Texas. Or Georgia. Or Louisiana. Or South Carolina. Or North Carolina. Or Maryland. Or West Virginia.

So why not Virginia?

because they were smarter - until they elected that douche bag McAuliffe, that is.

You heard it right here, folks. Virginia was smarter than Texas and a bunch of other red states!

 

[amrchaos]

Most Southern States take the right to vote away from felons.

I wish they would bar felons from running to!!

Nope. See posts 9, 12, and 14.

Yes....clinton minion and now Governor of Virginia is going to allow convicted felons...yes, even violent ones convicted of rape and assault...to vote...hilary needs every vote she can get....

But.......the democrats insist they will not resort to voter fraud...that, they say is one step too far.......

VA Governor About to Allow Thousands of Convicted Felons to Vote

Arguing that we need to overcome a “horrible history” in denying voting rights to African-Americans, the liberal governor is about to overturn a law dating back to the Civil War that denies convicted felons the right to vote.

Gov. Terry McAuliffe of Virginia will use his executive power on Friday to restore voting rights to more than 200,000 convicted felons, circumventing his Republican-run legislature. The action will overturn a Civil War-era provision in the state’s Constitution aimed, he said, at disenfranchising African-Americans.

The law will offer the right to vote to felons who are even convicted of murder and rape.

Once they are done voting, they will be allowed to go back to their lives of crime and violence....

Exactly why shouldn't felons who have served their sentences be allowed vote?

Why shouldn't we encourage those who we have released from prison- to become responsible citizens?

Because they have forfeited their rights....at least the rapists and the murderers he is going to give the vote to.....they shouldn't even be out of jail....

Everybody getting their phone and pen out, how does a Gov change a state Constitution by himself

 

[BluesLegend]

Democrats have sent millions of young minorities to prison, maybe they feel guilty.

That's uninformed. The loss is only TEMPORARY in most states. I've been voting for decades and I am an ex con.

You guys DESPERATELY need to educate yourselves on issues you clearly know NOTHING about.

 

[pwjohn]

They ( felons ) should have their civil rights restored after paying their debt to society.

 

[amrchaos]

I did not know your rights are restored after serving your probation GA!

I know a couple of felons that don't vote. Wait, they are crazy enough to vote for Trump!!

Maybe I will tell them after the election.

[Remodeling Maidiac]

As far as ex cons go I see it like this:

Violent offenses involving weapons, voting & gun rights gone forever.

Election fraud, voting rights gone forever.

Everyone else should have all their rights restored upon parole completion

Then your problem is with our sentencing.

Not sure why you want to avoid the actual issue- well I do know why- but anyway- the persons who you are talking about are criminals who have served their prison sentences and are now free to participate in our society.

I would prefer that they become good citizens- get a job, live in a home, even volunteer if they want to. Voting is one of our civil responsibilities- why do you not want to encourage those who have served their sentences from to be responsible citizens?

Your sentence isn't up, just the jail part. You get punished by your mom, she says you're grounded for the weekend and can't watch TV for a week. WTF, you say, of course you can watch TV after the weekend, your sentence was up. No, one part of your sentence was up ...

[AmericanFirst1]

The Governor is allowing those who have completed their prison time and parole to vote. There are only 12 states which disenfranchise such people.

Such people disenfranchised themselves when they committed their crimes. Such people =thugs.

Do you take way gun rights as punishment?

Or because the ex-con is too much of a risk for future violence?
