New York State Senator’s Bill Would Let Prisoners Vote from Jail

A Democratic state senator in New York, Kevin Parker, who recently wanted to look at peoples’ social media posts to determine if they would be allowed to own a gun, is also the man who got into a fight with a traffic cop and punched him in the face. He is sponsoring a new bill to let felons vote from prison. This is on top of a bill that passed the State Senate which will eliminate cash bail for some shocking crimes.

Parker said if we count prisoners in the census, they should be allowed to vote.

Huh?

Parker introduced the bill on November 5th to allow prisoners to register and vote from prison. Convicted felons would also participate. Felons will get to vote for the county sheriff, for example. What a concept.

Parker doesn’t want the minority prisoners disenfranchised.

So, does that mean he thinks most of the incarcerated are minorities or is this bill only for minority prisoners?

The bill is meeting with resistance from some Democrats [New York is a one party leftist state now so that’s a surprise]. Long Island Sen. Monica Martinez (D) is quoted as saying, “If an individual has committed a crime and is incarcerated, they have lost the right to vote. They should serve their sentence and not be allowed to exercise a right they once held.”

Another Senator stated, “This bill is a distraction from the real issues…it shouldn’t be a priority of anyone’s right now, much less even be taking up the legislatures time.”

As for the New York bill eliminating cash bail for some crimes, look at the crimes for which there will be no cash bail:

  • Assault in the third degree
  • Aggravated vehicular assault
  • Aggravated assault upon a person less than eleven years old
  • Criminally negligent homicide

  • Specified felony drug offenses involving the use of children, including the use of a child to commit a controlled substance offense and criminal sale of a controlled substance to a child
  • Criminal solicitation in the first degree and criminal facilitation in the first degree
  • Money laundering in support of terrorism in the third and fourth degree
  • Making a terroristic threat
  • Patronizing a person for prostitution in a school zone

New York passing a bill that would give prisoners the right to vote in prison, is the most absurd idea we’ve ever heard. Why in hell do they have to give rights like that to killers, child molesters, rapists, gangsters, terrorist, etc, etc.. This is outrageous. What is our beautiful country turning into?

Whew! This nutjob is totally off the rails. Fits right in with most of the leftist dem party in that state. Including the guvner.
Its NY and its rapidly approaching the same status as CA. Full of nutjobs passing off as elected offals.
Somebody needs to look at putting this fool away where he can do no harm.
Just sayin’.

Their goal is after they count the illegals in the Census giving them more Congressional seats, to be able to let illegals vote. The federal elections have to be organized by a federal department, with uniform rules in all states and a voting ID as good as a passport, free, so they don’t complain people cannot afford it.
