democrats once again elect a convicted felon

[Willie99]

Mayor of Bridgeport Joseph Ganim, Democrat

Joe held this position early in life, before spending 7 years in federal jail for taking bribes for everything and anything

it's how they roll, they love their convicts

Obama carried this great impoverished crime ridden city 32,000 to 5,000 in 2012

"Some will call this a comeback story. For me it is a city that I never left. I never stopped caring about the challenges that people face in every neighborhood,'' Ganim told throngs of supporters who packed Testo's Restaurant. "Tonight we not only made history but defined a new course for this great state."
With strong support from the city's African American voters, Ganim easily beat back his top challenger, petitioning candidate Mary-Jane Foster, with Republican Enrique "Rick'' Torres finishing a distant third.

If a convicted felon cant vote then how can they run for office?

If a convicted felon cant vote then how can they run for office?

Same way an illegal alien becomes president?

IDK

Alcie Hastings is a convicted felon, an impeached federal judge, and he's democratic member of Congress

Maybe Trump can straighten this out too....He will surely have his hands full but thats what motivates him...

 

[Willie99]

my guesser is they can restrict the right to vote, but not the right to work (except if you need a license)

at the end of the day, elections are up to "the people". Maybe we give "the people" too much credit and too much responsibility.

It seems wrong that people who exercise these least responsibility get to decide who wins elections, but that's the way it is

Votes are merely tallied, they're not weighed
