Misinformation

[Gonzo]

Seeing some last minute bullshitting.

An half-convincing endorsement for Mitt Romney was posted to Ralph Nader's facebook page last night, but since removed. I wonder if there is a lot of stuff like that going on, these days.

Well ralph naders page would be the appropriate place for misinformation, since he is a fraud, built on lies and misrepresentation.

We come to expect that as Americans. Anyone voting without knowing the facts from their own researching are not upholding their responsibility as citizens of this country (the US).

Rights do not come without responsibility.

And being someone that has LOST their right to vote why would you waste your time even commenting? Convicted felons can't vote. Well, legally anyway.

Although I fear that message boards may be a fading form of community, we can still look forward to the occasional, exquisite thread bump of stalkerspite.

What do you know. The spambots are full of shit.

Voting as an Ex-Offender - Nonprofit Vote

In all but two states, voting age citizens convicted of a felony are barred from voting for some period of time. Laws vary in each state. While many states restore voting rights to individuals automatically after they exit jail or prison, others permanently disenfranchise people with a past felony conviction or require they petition the government to have their right restored.

This is a short up-to-date state guide to voting for ex-offenders. For more, visit the resources on the right.

Overview

Voting rights retained while incarcerated for a felony conviction in:

Maine and Vermont.

Voting rights restored automatically upon release from prison in:

The District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Utah.

Voting rights restored automatically once released from prison and discharged from parole (probationers can vote) in:

California, Colorado, Connecticut, and New York.

Voting rights restored automatically upon completion of sentence, including prison, parole, and probation in:

Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

Voting rights restoration is dependent on the type of conviction and/or the outcome of an individual petition or application to the government in:

Alabama, Delaware, Mississippi, Nevada, Tennessee, and Wyoming.

Voting rights can ONLY be restored through an individual petition or application to the government in:

Florida, Iowa, Kentucky, and Virginia.

That whole "felons can't vote" is a thing I hear repeated all over the fucking place, and it's like, does anybody ever bother to look shit up? Like ever?

It's too bad this particular spambot didn't happen by earlier. We might have learned something about ol' Twisted's colorful past in time for some enhanced lulz.
