Registered sex offenders can't vote?
No they can just run for office.
Felons can't
they can if they are the president
Not even the president gets that
Just THAT guy for some reason
Apparently NY state allows felons to vote as long as they are not in prison, and Florida defers to the law where the crime was committed, so Trump is allowed to vote in Florida where is "home" is.
The real question isn't why he's allowed to vote, but why he's not in prison. Felons should be allowed to vote, otherwise it would be trivial to lock your opponents out of eligibility through lawfare.
I just realized that this is exactly what the Republican war on drugs was. Not only was it a way to criminalize their political opponents, it was a way of completely politically disenfranchising them. Probably so is a lot of other things in our legal system.
I think at least 26 states a felon can vote if they've served their sentence.
Depends on the state I'm sure.
Some states don't rescind voting rights while others automatically reinstate after release. It really does vary.
Very suspicious indeed. I was able to vote, but what about you?
Wait. What are you admitting here?
That one is tagged as "Russian statist" do with that what you will.
HE FUCKED A BEAR.
So they've got "FBI Hiring Candidate" written all over them.
Must have been a sick bear
Takes two guys to fuck a bear. Three even
Well that's between those two men, what was the sex crime?
