Virginia Shortcut: 60,000 Pardons Granted to Felons... Now Can Vote (Democrats, dictators, constitutional)

[TRUEGRITT]

I think posts like this are for the undecided, it means nothing to those who have made up their mind so I have faith that the undecided can see this for what it is worth.

If it wasn't such a big deal for the elections outcome for his puppet master, he would not have tried to circumvent the law the first time. This time he is circumventing the law by using a digital pen to make it appear he is vetting individually, which is the law. He has not been granted the authority to do so. So I ask some of you, if it really doesn't make any difference in the outcome, why the big push to grant voting rights to illegals, and felons?

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.
...
Virginia’s recent political history has seen multiple races that were decided by tiny margins. The 2014 U.S. Senate race, for example, was decided by only 17,000 votes, while the attorney general’s race came down to a mere 165 vote.

Virginia just got a bunch of criminals released - gives you Virginians the warm fuzzies, doesn't it? Because your safety is a lower priority to them.

When TheDCNF pointed out that 60,000 could tip an election, Wheeler said “I am acutely and chronically aware of that.” She also noted that McAuliffe has explicitly asked felons to vote for Clinton.

...
She also said that, while McAuliffe claimed to only be restoring voting rights of felons who had completed their sentences, his use of the autopen might not satisfy the court’s specific vetting requiremen

So just like the Syrian refugees, the felons released are not properly vetted. Go figure...

I think the Tea Party loyalist Clara Belle Wheeler is lying.

Please provide evidence (real--not one of those alt-right unsourced sites) that McAuliffe told people how to vote. I cannot find that he did it anywhere.

Good for him! If youve served your time, you shouldnt lose your right to vote. It doesnt matter, whether you are a dem or republican, you should be able to vote even if you have a criminal record.

Don't know if this matters but I'm a Republican. Conservative.

I forgot this list:

Felony disenfranchisement ends after parole:

In four states, disenfranchisement ends after incarceration and parole (if any) is complete: California, Colorado, Connecticut and New York

Circumstantial: (too long to explain them all) AL, AZ, DE, MS, NV, TN, VA, WY

Petition(most restrictive): FL , IA and KY

I live in FL so we always hear about this subject. It's ridiculous here. 1.5 million people have been disfranchised. Taxation without representation.

Together with for-profit prisons where prison corporations lobby to increase their customers/inmates this is something we can all agree on is appalling and needs to be abolished ASAP.

So members of the KKK that committed horrible hate crimes should by granted the right to vote?
