Prisoners. Should they have the right to vote?

[Jim Rosenthal]

I think criminal should be allowed to vote as long as they only vote for other criminals. That ought to cut down on voting by criminals, don't you think?

Oh, wait, that's not going to work, is it. Dammit.

This is from the Louisville News 09/17/2013:

Kentucky Senate Republican Leader Open to Giving Felon Voting Rights a Second Look

Enlarge image

State Sen. Damon Thayer, R-Georgetown,

A day after U.S. Sen. Rand Paul called on Republican lawmakers in the Kentucky General Assembly to give restoration of felon voting rights a second look, a prominent GOP state senator says the caucus might be open to the idea.
Speaking at the Plymouth Community Renewal Center earlier this week, Paul said U.S. drug laws disproportionately effect racial minorities.
One of the consequences, Paul said, is voter disenfranchisement for African-Americans.
The senator told west Louisville residents he would lobby leaders in the Republican-controlled state Senate to seek a compromise on House Bill 70.
The bill would automatically give certain felons their rights back and passed the state House in a bipartisan 72-25 vote.

So Mike, any thoughts?

So Rand Paul is that half soaked he not only wants to give these convicts the right to vote but wants it to include the Junkies. How fucking low will these vote harvesting idiots go? Huh ?

"Vote harvesting" is the most correct, descriptive statement I've heard in quite awhile!
Good on 'ya!
