Last month, Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe announced that he would be restoring voting rights to roughly 200,000 felons in the Old Dominion State through executive action, causing a firestorm of contention. The move is a controversial one for a number of reasons — primarily, most legal experts do not believe it is within Governor McAuliffe’s authority to unilaterally restore voting rights to an entire class of people.
The other main objection that opponents to the move raise is that the circumstances seem awfully politically advantageous to McAuliffe’s party and its presumptive presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton. McAuliffe is a longtime friend of both Bill and Hillary Clinton and formerly served on the board of the Clinton Global Initiative. Because the vast majority of the ineligible felons in Virginia are black — a core Democratic voting constituency — the move is seen as a shrewd tactic to tip the swing state in favor of Hillary Clinton in November.
Now, Governor McAuliffe has something in common with his good friend Hillary Clinton — they are both under investigation by the FBI. Interestingly enough, the FBI probe is completely unrelated to the Governor’s voting rights executive action — although that case is now before Virginia’s Supreme Court. To read why the FBI is investigating the already embattled McAuliffe, continue on the next page:
vote them all out traitors
Just another Idiot, why would you want felons to vote unless you need the votes for yourself?
That’s the mfr behind the Va veteran’s gun grab. He should be shot in the face for treason.
bust his ass
So many associated with the Clintons eventually come under some form of criminal investigation. There is a lesson here that many of us learned early. That is : “You will be judged by the company you keep”. I wonder if they have a large supply of orange jump suits.
ANOTHER CORRUPT POLITICIAN=DEMOCCRAT?????
That is disgusting. The people of Virginia need to get rid of him. Hopefully very soon.
SWEET!ALL YOU TRAITORS GOING DOWN!
He’s another crook
Jackass maybe that’s why he used his royal executive power to bypass the Virginia constitution. He might just soon be a felon himself. Couldnt happen to a more deserving p***k.
