I’ve noticed that’s the new Dem talking point here in MN.

Dems only count a person voting while impersonating another as “fraud” now.

Felons voting doesn’t seem to matter to them now (we hav hade Dems actually trying to pass laws here to allow felons to legally vote)

My conclusion is they think it’s fine to allow felons to vote NOW, otherwise they’d tighten the law to exclude being able to claim

Ignorance of the law as a valid claim to avoid prosecution.

How many laws have you ever heard of where you can avoid prosecution by claiming “I didn’t know it was illegal” ?

I believe that members of the Religion of Peace have used that very defense on a number of occasions. "I'm very sorry Your Honor, but I didn't know that it was illegal to kill my teenaged daughter for going out on a date with a non-muslim boy."

But I take your point. It used to be that "ignorance of the law is no excuse" but those days are over I guess.

Once you have completed your “obligation to the state” here in Idaho you can vote. And that is a good thing.
