From Laura Vozzella’s article in the August 21st Washington Post:
RICHMOND — Gov. Terry McAuliffe will announce Monday that he has restored voting rights to 13,000 felons on a case-by-case basis after Republicans and state Supreme Court justices last month stopped his more sweeping clemency effort.
McAuliffe’s planned action, confirmed by two people with knowledge of it, comes about a month after the Supreme Court of Virginia invalidated an executive order the Democratic governor issued in April. With that order, McAuliffe restored voting rights to more than 200,000 felons who had completed their sentences.
From yesterday’s article at yahoonews.com:
Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe has granted voting rights to as many as 60,000 convicted felons just in time for them to register to vote, nearly five times more than previously reported and enough to win the state for his long-time friend, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. To get around that, McAuliffe used a mechanical autopen to rapidly sign thousands of letters, as if he had personally reviewed them, even as his office was saying the total was 13,000. Now, The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group has learned that McAuliffe — who managed Clinton’s unsuccessful 2008 presidential campaign — churned out five times as many letters before the registration deadline than publicly claimed.
The reason I did not pull an article about the 60,000 felons who Governor Terry McAuliffe – a long-time Clinton confidant – suddenly turned into valid voters, from ABC, CBS, NBC or one of the major networks? Because a Google search – the first three full pages – did not turn up any.
Therefore people who rely on the networks or major newspapers have no idea that a Clinton confidant has, with complete dishonesty and underhandedness, probably turned the state of Virginia over to her.
Just the way Clinton, McAuliffe – and the networks and major papers – want it.
The title of this blog is “How To Rig An Election (And Get Away With It If You’re A Democrat).
Now you know why.
One other thing: regular readers of this blog know I do not support and will not vote for either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump.
But now I have a rooting interest: I am rooting for Donald Trump to win Virginia.
