When the election rolls around in November, a large, traditionally Democratic constituency will be missing. Many would expect this constituency to come out in droves to support Barack Obama, but this group of men will not cast their ballot for the African-American presumptive Democratic presidential candidate. These men will be noticeably absent from the polls, not because of apathy or anger or any of the other traditional voting deterrents; these men will remain away from the voting booths because they are legally prohibited due to felon disenfranchisement laws. Felon disenfranchisement laws have resulted in the loss of the right to vote in 13 percent of the United States’ African-American adult male population and, in some states, particularly in the South, 40 percent of African-American men are likely to be disenfranchised permanently.
If somebody who read this article didn’t know what the word felon meant, he or she would figure that it is a job occupation.
...don't do the crime if you can't do the time...!
How come minorities always have problmes when laws on the books are enforced?
If they weren’t criminals and didn’t raise their children to be thugs and parasites there’d be no issue. Period.
I knew it. You're an anti-Obama Racist. Just admit it.
It’s presumptious to think they would vote for Obama, who says they wouldn’t vote McCain?
This goes beyond just the criminal vote of course.
During the election cycle, Democrat operatives put a great deal of pressure on “get out the vote” efforts in the ghetto.
The existance of the disenfranchisement of felons law gives folks in the hood a way to beg off voting if they are apathetic, otherwise occupied or for whatever reason just do not wish to vote.
Fixed that for you. :)
I wouldn’t bet on it. With ACORN and friends I’m sure many will commit another crime and vote......
The biggest problem is that many young people these days are edjumakated by the government schkrool system, and have no idea what a felon is.
Cry me a f***ing river!
Don’t commit crimes.
We need to raise the bar for voting, not lower it.

How about many of them aren’t as stupid as the Democrats think and hope they are.

I believe this is true, I don’t think he will win as high a percentage of this group as is being predicted. The exit polls will say he got 93% of black voters but it won’t be true.
They were aborted.
Last week the Democratic governor of Virginia fixed it so tens of thousands of convicted felons in our state can vote.

LOL... The bad part about that is that these people actually have the "right" to vote.
