Via KVUE:
Attorney General Eric Holder is urging states to restore voting rights to former prison inmates.
Holder says 11 states continue to restrict voting rights after a person has served a prison sentence and is no longer on probation or parole.
He says nearly one in 13 African-American adults is banned from voting because of these laws.
Holder’s remarks, delivered at a symposium on the nation’s criminal justice system, are part of his initiative seeking fundamental changes to the system.
Last August, Holder instructed federal prosecutors to stop charging many nonviolent drug defendants with offenses that carry mandatory minimum sentences. He said long mandatory terms have flooded the nation’s prisons with low-level drug offenders and diverted money away for crime fighting. Holder is working with Congress to address the problem.

You doin a good job bro.
"Really AG Holdyerass, well, too f**king bad. If you don't want to lose your right to vote, don't commit a felony and get convicted for it. I don't want convicted felons voting, nor do I want them to legally have guns. If you are a convicted felon, it is your own doing, and you've only yourself to blame. Accountability for actions and deeds have consequences and if you can't accept the consequences, then don't commit the crime. Being a criminal shouldn't bar you from voting, even
if you're currently in prison? WTF kind of logic is that? What a jackass. What this is really about is getting these felon's the right to vote democrap back, and if they do, and the felon's don't have the time to take away from their bust schedule of robbery, rape & murder to vote, I'm sure the democraps will do it for them. What could work better? And no doubt John Boner and the RINO's will go along with this. Is there something wrong with the water in DC or are they that stupid? Holder want to flood the democrapic voting booths with felon criminals, rapists, murderers, thief and con artists to vote for the corrupt, lying liberal democraps. This is all about adding democrapic votes, just like amnesty would do." MC
