Virginia's Massive Voter Drive for Felons
Terry McAuliffe fulfills his mission of delivering the battleground state for Hillary.

To clear the way for fellow Democrat Hillary Clinton to capture the White House this year, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe unilaterally acted to restore the voting rights of 206,000 convicted violent and nonviolent felons in his important battleground state last week.
The move, which critics say violates the state constitution, is without precedent in Virginia's history and is particularly noxious and authoritarian coming as it did two days after the state's General Assembly adjourned.
The push to mainstream felons comes as Barack Obama, the most radical left-wing American president in history, is defining deviancy down by attempting to de-stigmatize criminality. The Left views criminals -- especially minorities -- as victims of society, oppressed for mere nonconformism. Because it needs their votes, the Left is pressing for the restoration of felons' voting rights. And it also supports legislation "banning the box," that is, banning employment applications that ask if the applicant has a criminal record.
And like President Obama, McAuliffe apparently revels in signing executive orders to accomplish what lawmakers would never approve. McAuliffe's order also classified all drug-related convictions as "non-violent, shortening the application for more serious offenders from 13 pages to one page, [and] removing a requirement that individuals pay their court costs before they can have their rights restored," his office indicated.
"Previous Virginia governors have restored rights on an individual basis, but none has done it for an entire category of offenders with one pen stroke," the Richmond Times-Dispatch observes.
Senate Majority Leader Thomas K. Norment (R) said "the timing of this action should give all legislators pause."
House of Delegates Speaker William J. Howell (R) blasted the blanket re-enfranchisement of criminals.
"The singular purpose of Terry McAuliffe's governorship is to elect Hillary Clinton president of the United States," Howell said. "This office has always been a steppingstone to a job in Hillary Clinton's cabinet."
Meanwhile, Mrs. Clinton thanked her longtime lackey on Twitter. "Proud of my friend [McAuliffe] for continuing to break down barriers to voting."
...
Radical left-wingers want to free half the nation's prisoners --including many violent offenders-- a move that would cause an upsurge in crime rates for decades to come.
To many of today's leftists criminality itself is an illegitimate concept. The mindless chanting of the slogan "no one is illegal" at open-borders rallies is part of the same school of thought.
Spearheaded by the American Civil Liberties Union and bankrolled by radical speculator George Soros, the "end mass incarceration" movement wants to reduce the U.S. prison population by 50 percent within the next 10 to 15 years.
Of course, few politicians are more supportive of going easy on criminals than Hillary Clinton.
After all, only luck has kept her from donning an orange jumpsuit herself. No wonder she's so supportive of restoring felons' right to vote.
