| Go ahead, vote yourself out of jug... |

| Another 16 felons — a cadre of drug dealers, forgers and thieves — have requested and sometimes cast absentee ballots illegally in Duval County for Tuesday's election, a Times-Union review has found. They join 11 other felons who were registered to vote and requested absentee ballots, despite a Florida law prohibiting them from doing so. A local NAACP registration drive in early October at the county jail and work release site produced 16 of the registrations, election officials said. The others were convicted beforehand or afterward and not expunged. Felons cannot vote in Florida unless they successfully petition the state to restore their rights. Is it just me or is the odor of this election akin to rare, aged mackerel? |
