Democrats' Delight: Thousands More Votes From Criminals

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Maybe crime doesn't pay, but being soft on crime does. The Democrat presidential nominee in 2004 can expect 1,500 to 3,000 more votes from Florida criminals, an expert says.

President Bush won the state, and the White House, by only 537 votes in 2000.

A judge in Democrat-dominated Leon County last month told the state to abet clemency applications of nearly 125,000 felons released from 1992 to 2001 who are, like certain Al Gore supporters from Palm Beach (aka Pea Brain) County, too stupid to figure it out themselves.

"Of those, experts guess that from 15,000 to 30,000 might be eligible under state rules to have their rights restored without a hearing and in time for the 2004 election," the Palm Beach Post reported today.

Criminals favor Democrat candidates by more than a 2-to-1 margin, said Christopher Uggen, a professor at the University of Minnesota who specializes in felon voting issues.

Based on 30,000 Florida criminals, a 27.2 percent turnout and a 68.9 percent bias toward Democrats, he estimates a gain of 5,622 votes for the Democrat nominee and only 2,538 for President Bush.

Fortunately, because felons are "more impulsive" than decent citizens they are less likely to stand in line to vote come Election Day, according to Uggen.

Wacky Palm Beach County Commissioner Burt Aaronson has claimed that "80 to 85 percent [of felons] would be Democrats if they were allowed to vote again." He, by the way, is a Democrat.

Why don't the donkeys avoid grubbing for criminals' votes and just register a few million more dead people and illegal aliens?
