Just In Case There's Any Doubt

File this in the "Gee, What a Surprise" category.

7 in 10 felons register as Democrats
A new study of how criminals vote found that most convicts register Democratic, a key reason in why liberal lawmakers and governors are eager for them to get back into the voting booth after their release.
...in some states, felons register Democratic by more than six-to-one. In New York, for example, 61.5 percent of convicts are Democrats, just 9 percent Republican. They also cited a study that found 73 percent of convicts who turn out for presidential elections would vote Democrat.
Birds of a feather...

Here's the money quote:
“Democrats would benefit from additional ex-felon participation...”
I think they mean as voters, not as elected officials.

According to an article there are only 3 states that allow incarcerated folks to vote:

New York (no surprise), New Mexico & North Carolina (Surprise, but both are being bloated with illegal aliens from Mexico and Progressive liberals from the North-East Democrat States).

The cancer is spreading rapidly!

The ability of felons to vote varies by state. The article made the differences between states seem a little too simplistic. If you're interested, here's a link to a more detailed breakdown.
