FELONY VOTERS AND PAROLED MURDERERS

If you are convicted of a felony you are not allowed to vote according to the law. However, if the local government in your area does not go to the trouble to cross-check voter registration records against the state's criminal records, then most anyone can still get away with voting in general local, state and federal elections!

When you sign up to vote, the voting form request simply asks, "Have you ever been convicted of a felony?' If you decide to answer, "No", then you may be able to register to vote no matter what criminal history you may have.

Additionally, due to the same "loopholes" in a state's voter registration cross-checking procedures, you may also be able to get away with voting in place of someone that is deceased!

Concerning paroled murderers, once released from prison up to 50% of all convicted murderers on parole may continue a life of crime with up to 6% committing murder again!
