Bernie: Let Felons In Prison Vote (thought, Democrats, crimes, death)

[travis t]

Imagine the 'ballot harvesting' opportunities. This has already been done in senior centers and nursing homes.

This will be another travesty if ever allowed to happen.

Felons are generally in prison because they have seriously violated the social compact. Why then should they get a say in the formation of said compact? I would support restoration of rights after, say 5 years of staying out of trouble.

Yes, we have too many laws, too many felons, and too many people behind bars, but that's a separate issue that must be separately addressed.

Why? We have a crook in the white house who violates the social compact every day and he can vote

For the third time, where can I get the secret decoder ring that magically transforms every topic into being about President Trump??? I've searched Amazon, and they don't have them.

Of all people, Bernie should be against any election law changes that enable election cheaters. In any ballot-harvesting scheme, a Hillary Clinton is going to out-harvest a Bernie Sanders every time.

Bernie’s Vermont already allows prisoners to vote.

We need to restore the power of property owners by limiting voting rights to those who own property.

[RunD1987]

Any American citizen or individual living in a U.S. territory 18 or older should be allowed to vote and not have that right restricted

Also feel Electoral College should be done away with. Implement Rank Choice Voting.

Anyone on 50 State ballots should be allowed to participate in every Presidential Debate

Presidential Races financed should only be obtained via public fundraising to even the playing field out.

Bernie will now grant a mass murder to vote. That’s how ridiculous the left has become!

Murderers take the rights from Americans and then Bernie want to have these “takers and killers” to keep their rights!!!!

MUSCATINE, Ia. — While Iowa struggles on whether to restore voting rights to felons who have completed their prison sentences, Sen. Bernie Sanders said people convicted of felonies should never lose access to the ballot box in the first place.

Are you threatened by this course of action? What makes you think all these prisoners wont vote republican?IMO just because some one has committed a crime that puts them behind bars they are still American citizens and should retain the right to vote.

Wonder how these criminals would vote for a "Law and Order" candidate.
