Media, Leftists, Infuriated that Mississippi won’t let Felons Vote
A story originally appearing in the Associated Press (“AP”) complaining about the lack of felon voting rights in Mississippi is being amplified by a variety of other news outlets.
The story is the product of a left-wing desire to normalize the effort to give voting rights to convicted felons.
The reasoning is simple: felons vote for Democrats, according to a study from the left-wing Brennan Center for Justice at NYU law. The findings were that 70% registered as Democrats and 24% registered as Republicans. Other studies show somewhere between a 20-40% preference for Democrats by those with a prior felony conviction.
The story quotes Kenneth Almons who served 23 years in state prison for armed robbery.
