INSTANT DEMOCRATS

By Bob Walsh

The Governor of Virginia, Terry McAuliffe, who is a Democrat, signed an executive order today which will allow more than 200,000 former felons to vote.

While obviously it is not possible to KNOW how any one of them will vote, polling over the years has indicated that former felons have an 80% tendency to register and vote for Democrats.

This executive action bypasses the state assembly, which is majority Republican.

The order by McAuliffe is worded as promoting racial justice. Nationwide blacks are convicted felons at more than twice their rate in the general population.

The action would allow ex-cons who have completed their sentences vote, run for and hold public office, and obtain certain licenses, such as a Notary license, that has up to now been prohibited to them.
