no desire to debate that with you. not like I'm going to persuade you, based on previous conversations with you.

If felons were likely GOP voters, this governor doesn't give them right to vote, in my view.

This just shows how backwards and discrimintal people in SC are. I'm glad I live in a state where people aren't so prejudice and non progressive. South Carolina is pretty much another Mississippi if you ask me. 😅

nobody forces anybody to break the law. as I previously said, if felons were likely Republican votes, more than 200,000 of them don't get the right to vote in a swing state. This is all politics, not some kind of altruistic forgiveness thing, in my view.

people who break the law are backwards and non-progressive. I believe in the rule of law.

I do like the state of Virginia though. I must say that the unemployment rates are much higher than 4 and 6 percent in the states. I think it is at least 10 percent in both.

So it's because you don't think they'd be likely to vote Republican. You could've just said that; don't be scared to own it.

I believe that if a person has served their time then why punish them even more? You definitely have your facts all screwed up, Virginias unemployment rate is arguably the best, if not the best in the South. Virginia is sitting at a 4.0. That is well below the national average. South Carolina is sitting at a 5.7, the state obviously has a lot of catching up to do.

So you have never heard about how those unemployment numbers don't count people who have given up looking for a job?

No, actually I'm against allowing people who raped women and other crimes from being able to vote, even if they were likely Republican voters.

I am glad that I don't live in a state in which an governor can unilaterally decide an issue like that.

Why are you against it, if that person has paid their debt to society and is no longer incarcerated? You've not actually given any reasons.

this isn't the politics or 'great debate' forum. I have no desire to talk about it with you.

In my view, the reason the Va gov did this is because he worked for the Clintons and he wants Hillary to win the election. It is a conflict of interest. He unilaterally changed the law of the state to help his friend.
