Virginia recently became a deep blue state, thanks in part to people like Michael Bloomberg who bought elections. As a result, revolutionaries are now in place in the legislature with the extremist, Blackface Northam, as Governor. They are passing law after law that will take away peoples’ rights, one of those rights could soon be the vote.
Originally, radical Virginia Democrats said they were planning to allow felons to vote if they weren’t on probation. Since these socialist Democrats are never satisfied, they have moved on from that. Now they plan to have prisoners vote from jail.
Neat! They can vote for politicians who will let them commit crimes and acquire a get out of jail free card.
Virginia Democrats Mamie Locke and Kaye Kory will introduce an amendment on January 8th that will allow prisoners to vote from jail in the state, The Daily Caller News Foundation reported.
Prisoners will — so far — vote in their jurisdiction, making them an important Democrat voting bloc. It will potentially flood rural areas with prisoners’ votes — Democrat votes.
It’s only one of many revolutionary bills.
Only two other states — Maine and Vermont — allow inmates to vote, but they don’t vote in their jurisdiction.
Along these lines, NPR published a pity article about the poor, sympathetic prisoners who don’t have a say in their government. They call it ‘prison gerrymandering.’

We need a Federal court decision prohibiting partial restoration of rights. If a person is trusted with the right to vote restored, they should have all of their rights restored, including gun rights.
This is surreal.
The Dimms have methodically doing redistricting in areas around the country…while conservatives sleep…
Nothing new with the Corrupt Democrats, who want Control and Power, so they cheat in elections. This is Why they Never wanted ‘Voter Id’s, because you couldn’t have the DEAD voting, and since they have lied to the blacks for Decades, and now they are waking up, the Corrupt Dems need to replace those lost black voters, so that’s why… Read more »
Only if the ballots haven’t misplaced in the back of some precinct worker’s car or went to File #13.
This looks like illegal gerrymandering. Every prisoner should have to vote by absentee ballot from their resident county at the time they were convicted. A federal appeal would be most likely.
