| #7 Take this as you will, but, out here in Blue Californy, the felons have had the vote since 1973... |

| #5 please... a failure to appear is cleared by appearing, and NOT a permanent felony. Your friend's anecdote sounds bogus, whatever your feelings, and anyone who pleads to a felony gets what they deserve. Why the f*&k would a smart person like *Mary* do that? |

| #4 There are many reason's one could have a felony record. 1) in Connecticut if you miss your court appearance you are charged with "failure to appear" a felony on your record. 2) a girlfriend of mine was forced to take a plea bargain of assaulting an officer. She ACCIDENTLY hit his police cruiser in Tolland, CT. The officer padded the police report and put down that Mary tried to assault him....I know Mary would NEVER EVER do that to anyone....a risky trial meant she could have spent more time in jail, mary sat and waited 8 month's in prison to be bailed out...once bailed out-she did not want to return so she took a plea bargain and ended up with a felony record. I think Mary and other's like her should be able to vote*** (SHe took a plea bargain because her public defender NEVER put a trial on). Andrea Jackson |

| #2 Maybe she will follow the Washington state model and let imaginary friends vote too (as long as they are democrats...). |

| #1 "I think it's also necessary to make sure our elections meet the highest national standards," said the New York senator. By letting ex-felons vote? Sure, that passes the logic test... |
