I included this piece from the US News and World Report, which I consider a little bit more credible than alternet. It refers to the v***r f***d in one e******n alone, for the US Senate. Notice who the beneficiary of this fraud was. No wonder Democrats oppose V**er ID. As soon as I have time, I will include FBI statistics debunking the gun control crap. Typical brainless liberal crap tactics. Cherry pick unsubstantiated statements from a heavily biased source, and call it incontrovertible t***h.

Now to address this bull s**t article "banjojack" has so graciously presented to us. A couple of things stick out about the article, first of all the "operative" word in the title of the article,(Al Franken May Have Won His Senate Seat Through V***r F***d), is the word "MAY", indicating that nothing is proved. But more to the point, and the reason the author, of the article, used the word "May" is because of Minnesota Law. Minnesota Law specifically states...
609.165 RESTORATION OF CIVIL RIGHTS; POSSESSION OF FIREARMS.
Subdivision 1. Restoration. When a person has been deprived of civil rights by reason of
conviction of a crime and is thereafter discharged, such discharge shall restore the person to all
civil rights and to full citizenship, with full right to v**e and hold office, the same as if such
conviction had not taken place, and the order of discharge shall so provide.
Pay particular attention to where it says....
"When a person has been deprived of civil rights by reason of
conviction of a crime and is thereafter discharged, such discharge shall restore the person to all
civil rights and to full citizenship, with full right to v**e and hold office..."
I simply had to reiterate that. Now I didn't read where the U.S. News & World report article stated where these so-called felons v**ed from, but if they were "discharged", they were legal v**ers, according to Minnesota law. If they weren't discharged, then that begs the question, who is setting up v****g booths at the state or federal penitentiary? It would seriously aid the author, of this article, to research what the law is, in the state he is reporting on. Obviously different states have different laws, but this is exactly what most Conservatives want, each state to have more autonomy and the federal government to have less. Minnesota chooses to reinstate v****g rights to former convicted felons.
Now veering off the subject, just a tad, Minnesota does not allow for it's former felons, of violent crimes, to possess firearms...
"Subd. 1a. Certain convicted felons ineligible to possess firearms. The order of discharge
must provide that a person who has been convicted of a crime of violence, as defined in section
624.712, subdivision 5, is not entitled to ship, t***sport, possess, or receive a firearm for the
remainder of the person's lifetime"...
That last line is a "k**ler", "for the remainder of the person's "LIFETIME", ouch! I think Wayne LaPierre should get on this travesty, immediately. How dare Minnesota restore v****g rights to ex-felons and not restore their Second Amendment rights. :D
