D.C. City Council Passes Bill to Let Felons Vote — 6 Comments

  1. Who in Devil City is NOT a felon – actual or not yet detected ???

    esp bribe makers / bribe takers.

  2. I believe the franchise should also be extended to felines as well as felons. Let’s not be catty about this. It makes purrfect sense.

  3. Why not votes for all critters with 2 or 4 legs — wait a bit for 6 and 8 leg critters ???

    Extra votes for foreign spies with 10 legs/ feet in Devil City ???

  4. Because people are not human just because they committed a crime? Even a legit crime is not a reason to dehumanize people much less all the people who have been falsely convicted and or convicted of things which should not be crimes at all but are.
