New York Governor Pardons Sex Offenders So They Can Vote

Quote
“Dozens of convicted sexual predators deemed too dangerous to be returned to the community after their release from prison are among the thousands who received conditional pardons from Gov. [Andrew] Cuomo, giving them the right to vote,” according to the New York Daily News.

The conditional pardon, which applies to 24,000 parolees and some of the sickest criminals in the state, riled up conservative legislators in the state.

I was trying to check and see if this was a parody site.  Other sites have similar stories though I guess it is old news in some circles.  I does look like only a few people will actually get voting rights back.
