#1 Illegals and Felons - Democrat Base™

This is a bit unfair. There are plenty of felons in the mid and upper ranks of the Democratic party.

#4 In a 4-to-3 decision, the court ruled that McAuliffe overstepped his clemency powers by issuing a sweeping order in April restoring rights to all ex-offenders who are no longer incarcerated or on probation or parole.
Silly me! That does rather sound like something that the State Legislature should pass a law on first, what? That is, if said Legislature originally passed a law taking said voting rights away from felons, but, you see, I'm not a progressive so I think things like that...

#5 Kissing up to felons and MS13 to stay in power. This proves the advice, every time you see a Dimocrat, hide your wallet.

#6 McAuliffe tried to restore felon's rights? Was he just trying to pave the road for himself in case of possible election fraud and money laundering charges/convictions?

#7 No JohnQC, this happened back in late April of 2016. McAuliffe was trying to ensure Virginia went for Hillary. He then was punched in the face by the Virginia Supreme court for trying that with 200,000 people. Then in August, he tried again with a modest pardon of 13,000. Then when the Courts wouldn't hold him in contempt, in November 6(OH MY!), he granted 60,000 convicted felons the right to vote. It's this last one I believe the ruling is about in this article.

I'm curious how many votes then would be invalidated by this ruling.

#8 Whenever I see a picture of that bastasd

No. We do not say things here that could be construed as a physical threat to American citizens. Fred puts in long hours to make this site for us, and we do not say things that will make his life more difficult.

#9 I think it shows how desperate the demoncrats are. They have no message other than we hate trump, wanna take your guns and make you dependent on us and raise your taxes.

Doesn't play well with most voters.

#10 Now he'll have to do it the old fashioned way - send out an army of volunteers to cemeteries to take down names...

#11 #3 #10, they already caught a slimey little weasel from Harrisonburg pulling that most traditional of all Dem stunts in the last election.

#12 And let's not forget McAuliffe is indorsing a self-admitted pedophile running for Congress.
