Thousands of felons across Alabama have registered to vote in recent weeks, according to Pastor Kenneth Glasgow, who is heading up a statewide effort to get felons to the voting booth.

Glasgow's goal is to get as many felons as possible signed up to vote before the end of the day Monday, the deadline to be able to cast a ballot in Alabama's Dec. 12 U.S. Senate special election.

Where is it in the Constitution that just because you're a black pastor separation of church/state laws don't apply to you.

Getting tired of this sh!t.

They are just going to piss of the deplorables even more who will probably turn out in droves to push back the establishment and vote for Moore.

Let’s hope so. Nobody in the media ever wants to make the connection between felons and Democrat votes.

“the Definition of Moral Turpitude Act”.... WTF is that? So a mass killer can’t vote but someone who killed only once can because that’s really not that bad?

Yep....

"Voting rights restoration"....Is that like "immigration" rights restoration? Illegals are considered "immigrants"?

Well, pastor, I do not endorse your efforts. You really want convicted felons influencing gov't? Sounds like an Obama scheme.

My guess is not. I think someone who can’t own a gun should not be allowed to vote.

Time for more spiritual warfare in the form of prayer.

God got Trump into office and kept Hillary out.

He can keep out other dems as well.

We had an rather interesting discussion around here last week.

If one has ‘paid their debt to society’, shouldn’t all of their Constitutional rights (including 2A) be restored?

About half of us (all Deplorables) came down on either side of the argument.

Maybe you are on to something! That could mean that the cities of Chicago and New York would be unable to vote in federal elections!! :)

More proof that principalities are behind some of these folks. IMHO, the same principalities that put Barack Hussein Obama into power.

Ephesians 6:12 American Standard Version

12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

As you say, this is spiritual warfare.

From my observations, convicted felons are like most people, divided about 50/50 politically.

Voting is not a constitutional ‘right’. The states can put any restriction they want save race & sex.

I tend to favor treating this as a package deal. I say wait ten years from the date of completed sentence and if they have stayed out of trouble then restore their civil rights. But I would also make an exception for persons convicted of violent felonies. Those would be barred for life from both voting and gun ownership.
