  1. While I’m sure that is a large factor, this is also the first Presidential election since the laws were changed to make it easier to restore voting rights to ex-felons.

  2. Debra said,

    So many non-felons don’t vote. Good for the felons for wanting this right back!

  3. Took said,

    Ex-felons probably vote 90% Democrat. What does that tell you?

  4. swift boater said,

    90% What do the other 10% vote, the Legalize Drugs Now! Party?

  5. Uncle Ralph said,

    Won’t this dilute that immemorial Democrat voting block, “dead people?”

  6. Eduardo said,

    Felons vote Democratic because they’re most comfortable with their own kind.

  7. Harry said,

    What the hell is this “ex-felons” nonsense? A criminal record doesn’t go away just because you finished serving your sentence. Once a felon, always a felon.

    You can call yourself a REFORMED felon if you want, but you’re only an EX-felon when you’re dead.

  8. Rufus Lee King said,

    Uh oh. The Felons Amicus Brief has been swiped.

  9. Yehiel Handlarz said,

    Next we’ll give the Guantanamo prisoners the right to vote. I’m
    sure they’ll vote a straight Democrat line.

    Who do you think made them dead?
