Over 30,000 convicted felons remain on voter rolls

[Wretched Excess]

this is an awfully cavalier attitude toward a voter registration roll lousy with felons.  I assume this guy is a
republican;  what's his damn problem?  anyone that claims that a lack of resources prevented him from fixing
a critical problem is simply incompetent.  his priorities are screwed up.

Many convicted felons remain on voter rolls, according to Sun Sentinel investigation

More than 30,000 Florida felons who by law should have been stripped of their right to vote remain registered to cast ballots in this presidential battleground state, a Sun Sentinel investigation has found.

Many are faithful voters, with at least 4,900 turning out in past elections.

Another 5,600 are not likely to vote Nov. 4 — they're still in prison.

Of the felons who registered with a party, Democrats outnumber Republicans more than two to one.

Florida's elections chief, Secretary of State Kurt Browning, acknowledged his staff has failed to remove thousands of ineligible felons because of a shortage of workers and a crush of new registrations in this critical swing state.

Browning said he was not surprised by the newspaper's findings. "I'm kind of shocked that the number is as low as it is," he said.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the whole principal behind incarceration the loss of one's civil rights, such as freedom...and the right to vote...etc?

ah, well, see?  there you go, thinking logically.  the answer is, "of course not".  the goal is spend the next 20 years giving the dems every advantage imaginable in order to make up for an election that we won fair and square in 2000.  allowing convicts, thugs, and traitors to vote is one of the smaller concessions that we are expected to make.
