I have a question. It is illegal for felons to vote, but as far I know there is no background check when one votes. How are they stopped ? Is it easy for them to cheat, but just sucks for them on the off chance they get caught or what ? |
They run a background check on every person who registers ? How is it then that people get around that and cheat. I hear lots of complaining here about democrats cheating using felons votes. |
ladies at the voters registration office. They also told me that they don't check for citizenship..............
 Please explain how a rapist or child molester “pays their debt to society”… the idea that any violent felon can “pay their debt to society” has to be one of the stupidest concepts known to man. They ain't paid shit they are just out of jail. |

Thats not what the thread is about. I personally feel they should vote, just curious how the system works. Remember, not all felons are bad. These days more and more good people are made into felons daily by our "legal" system. I won't even say justice system anymore.
|
Probably the majority of felons have not commited a violent crime. |
It's not illegal if they have their rights restored. |
They shouldn't be able to vote because they should be six foot under. But that is just my two cents. |
FAIL!!!!! In fact, MEGA FAIL!!!!! If they think there's a chance a felon might do it again, keep them inside until they're sure they won't. If that means forever, that means forever. There'd be a lot more room in jails if we didn't fill them up with 18 year old who half half a joint in their pocket. There should be two classes, the prisoners, and everybody else. When you go from prisoner to everybody else, anything the everybody else class can do, you outta be able to. That means vote and own a gun, IMO. Does it really make sense to brand somebody a felon for life and deny them the RIGHT to vote or own a gun because they got caught with a few ounches of a plant that grows naturally? Anybody that thinks ex felons should be branded for life and denied their rights once they're out of jail is a <Do not call names. Bama> who deserves a really hard donkey punch. |
 Oh boy another low post commando going to punch people... I am so scared. Yea there is some mega fail but it ain’t me… try some reading comprehension classes... also you might try reading the the CoC... and grow up. |
.
Without threatening any donkey punches ...  There needs to be some differentiation between offenses. Rapists and child molesters are not the same as someone found with some toot in their car, or an unregistered shoelace, for that matter. |
Agreed… and generally there are already methods in place to handle that. |
Yep, the really bad folks usually end up getting killed in prison. 
|
Don't forget the book of food stamps. |
Historically, felonies were very serious crimes punishable by death ie murder, rape, treason. A misdemeanor was a crime that was punished by imprisonment but not something you'd execute someone for Some where things got screwed up badly. In VA a class 6 felony and Class 1 misdemeanor have the same punishment  .The system needs a massive rewrite, after a brutal pruge of all the lawyers and judges in the system that refuse to change their ways. |
+1 littering can get you a felony in FL. |
Got a link for that ? Not that I doubt you, I just want to info. Thats pathetic
