Outrage: VA Governor About to Allow Thousands of Convicted Felons to Vote.....

Good for him!
Once a person has paid their debt there is no reason, none for not restoring their voting rights.
Many states do this, some automatically, others there is an application and approval process.
This is a good thing, a very good thing.

Why does the rightness always support voter suppression?
What are the cons so afraid of......freedom?

 

How is ignoring a States Legislature "freedom"?

Btw

"Virginia is one of 10 states that do not automatically restore rights upon completion of a felony sentence and one of only four states that require an application by the felon and action by the governor, according to the McAuliffe administration, which cited research showing one of every five African-Americans of voting age in Virginia has lost the right to vote."

^^^^^^

THAT is a major problem but instead cries of "racism" and "Disenfranchised" are used... How about trying to figure out why 20% of a demographics are felons....

 

I am indifferent to whether such rights should be restored. What I am not indifferent about is an executive usurping the duly codified will of the people, expressed via the legislature. Let him follow the process to change the Law.

 

They might vote for a Democrat.
Thats the only reason and that is more than enough to strip them of their rights for righties.

 

Are we safe to assume that you also think convicted felons should not have to pay taxes?

 

With me.....no never safe to assume.

 

Convicts (article of conviction in a court of law) have many aspects of federal law and protection need not apply to them. There are ways to go through the legal system and overturn that though.

 

Why didn't the leftness when the Demo Kaine was the Governor? Why was he for voter suppression. What was he afraid of? When the Demos had the House.....why did they tremble forth to change the law.

 

I don't know, maybe the rightness should ask Gov Kaine.

Bottom line, this is a good move, it spreads freedom (thats why the rightness hates it) promotes voters rights (Another reason the rightness hates it) and gets the Govt out of people lives instead of controlling them.(The rightness REALLY hates that!)
Freedom, the rightness fears it.

 

Especially if they can make some money along the way, eh?

 

I'm sort of mixed on the idea that felons can't vote.

On one hand, every American citizen of age should probably be allowed to vote since they live here and all. On the other hand, someone who would break our laws because they feel like it probably shouldn't have a say in what those laws are.

I think a compromise is in order. Felons can vote, but not while serving a sentence either in prison or outside of prison in the form of house arrest or probation. Once you've served your time, all of it both in and out of prison, then you can vote again.

 

If you notice.....Kaine and his attorney said he didn't have the authority to use a EO. That is was not Constitutional with Virginia law.

Spreads Freedom does it? Spreads a whole lot more than Freedom. As we can tell by the knee high boots. Oh, it promotes Rights that those people had.....then had their Rights taken from them. For some odd reason Right.

Why should the repeat offender for 4 or 5 decades get to vote. Despite serving his time. What makes Chester the Molester's change its Naturaal? How did Chester the molester learn his lesson?

 

Just what is it about having the freedom to cast a vote that scares you so much?
Are you really so partisan that the fear of someone voting differently from scares you badly you think they should be able to vote at all?
Or is it something else?
Explain why you are so willing to remove others rights.

 

Why would I be scared to cast a vote.....that even sounds (*)(*)(*)(*)in stupid. Are all lefties this ridiculously stupid or is just your blend? Have you ever served in Combat. You must know what its like for those after they survive a couple of tours and been in the thick of things, Right.

Tell us how we are scared and frightened by a bunch of civilian mopes of the left, and lets see if you can even make it sound convincing.

Seems you lefties have been doing that all my life.. Now whats your lame excuse about being scared or frightened of some (*)(*)(*)(*) the leftness dreams over some delusion or daydream fantasy.

Look the only ones that are scared are you lefties. So scared.....you wont start up that civil war you want. That you pine for.....as you know there are those like me. That will lay waste to your friggin ranks and let the bodies hit the floor.

So save all that BS about someone being frightened by those such as yourself that make up the weakness of this country.

 

This is typical of Gov. McAuliffe. He did the same thing on Virginia's gun laws last October. When the GOP led Legislature refused to pass the gun laws that he wanted, he signed Executive Order 50. Previously, Virginia recognized the Concealed Carry permits of any state that recognized Virginia's permits. The Executive Order changed it so that the state only recognized those permits issued by Virginia. Another provision of the Order banned open carrying of firearms at the State's Executive Branches for anyone other then Police, Security Guards and Military personnel in the line of duty. The GOP drafted a bill that would take things one step further. It would have banned open carry of firearms by security personnel at the executive branches. That means that the Governor's personal security staff would not be armed. As a compromise, the Governor removed the Concealed Carry provision, and the Governors Security personnel could keep their guns.

Look for the same thing here. The GOP will either draft a bill to overrule the Governor's Executive Order. Then the Governor will compromise to remove those felons convicted of murder, rape or other violent crimes. If not, I guarantee the GOP will get a stay on the law until it works it's way through an appeal process. Either way, no Virginian convicted of a violent crime will be allowed to vote in November.

 

Virginians will need to learn about how the Demos play. As they flood more of the left into the State.

Might want to start getting lists ready for the names in Cemeteries. For cross referencing. As the Demos will cheat. Of that you should have no doubt.

Watch those College Kids voting there and then going to their home states to vote too.

 

I personally don't know much about this guy but he sounds like a typical agenda driven politician. Personal gain first and foremost.

 

But...wouldn't that be...racist?

 

Well no because they are on the left.....

 

But torturing, lynching and whipping them to death was much more fun, so you kept them as your disposable playthings. Your last recorded lynching was in 1968. My, how advanced your country is.

 

The democrat party-----------------the party with no morals, just win at all cost.

 

The republican party-----------------the party with no morals, just win at all cost.

 

Great move.

Hopefully the end result will be locking down a critical Electoral swing state for the Dems in November.

Win/Win all around.

 

Well then it does scare the pants off you, thanks for confirming it.
Now, answer the question, why does it scare you much?
Everyone has the right, a Constitutional right to cast a vote, they can vote for whom ever they chose, why is that so scary to you and your fellow rightness that make up the, how did you put it....."ridiculously stupid or is just your blend" of rightness?

Answer the question. Why do you feel you have to stop people from voting differently that you vote?
