Cons Pro Hillary

  Inmates In Charge
 
Hillary Clinton and John Kerry plan to introduce their Count Every Vote Act in the Senate. Hillary's bill includes restoration of voting rights to "felons who have repaid their debt to society" in all 50 states.
Hillary's legislation would override the US Constitution's 14th Amendment which explicitly gives each state the right to make that determination. Hillary estimates that would add a potential pool of 4.7 million voters.
Northwestern University's Jeff Manza and Marcus Britton and the University of Minnesota's Christopher Uggen released a study that found 30% of felons would vote if Hillary's law was passed. That would provide 1.4 million new voters. If these voted in the same democratic-republican split as felons have previously voted in states where ex-cons were permitted to vote already, the potential 2008 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton would receive an extra 1.2 million votes. That's enough to put her in the Oval Office -- even if the race is not close.
Also, with 1.2 million ex-cons voting Democratic, President Hillary would quite possibly have a House and Senate controlled by her own party. Ex-cons may be in charge along with many others who should be cons.
