Governor Terry McAuliffe’s freeing felons in order to vote for Hillary for president fails. Do read the following article by Jazz Shaw at Hot Air about the governor’s gift going bad.
“If you’ve been following the news out of Virginia this year you’re likely already aware of Governor Terry McAuliffe’s recent executive order restoring voting rights to convicted felons. Rather than some sort of rehabilitation program for former inmates trying to reestablish themselves in civil society, McAuliffe went several steps further, including convicts who are still in prison or on probation. That list contained at least 132 sexual predators who were considered too dangerous to cut loose, but apparently were fine to run for office or help elect those who would be tasked with enforcing the law. The fact that this effort would likely pay off in huge numbers of new Democrats in a swing state right before a presidential election was widely considered too impolite to bring up in cable news circles.
It looked like a done deal, too, at least until the dictate was challenged through the normal channels. The state supreme court brought the hammer down this week and said that the Governor was exercising a power which simply does not exist. (NPR)
