What's ironic about this discussion of Virginia enactment of restoring rights to felons is that Texas has a substantial percentage (approx 45%) of felons who gain parole whereas Virginia is less than 3% who are granted parole. so the good news is they can vote the bad news is they will probably never get out of jail so won't be able to vote.

a felon by any other name.....Felon A a career criminal who continually gets arrested for robbery/burglary. given parole he/she is likely to offend again. Felon B is DUI kills some in a car accident gets 25 years without parole is now an old guy release who will never commit a crime again.....and what about the guy who was wrongly convicted in the first place.

what the amount of fraud going on now by so called responsible citizens I don't know that restoring felon's rights makes an appreciable difference.

By the way Mc Auliffe attended Bishop Ludden Junior/Senior High School which has an outstanding academic record. If Bishop Ludden was listed on a resume it was certain the applicant would be given an employment interview because those who graduated from Bishop Ludden went to some of the best colleges in the country
