All persons convicted of a felony since 1981, except for some serious felonies such as murder, rape, treason and voter fraud, may apply to the Board of Probation and Parole for voting restoration upon completion of their sentence.

Irrelevant question since this has turned into one of LG's race baits...

What's your limit when it comes to hiring felons?

No violent crime, rape, murder, assualt etc. I am very big on a safe, friendly atmosphere.

Most of my emloyees have felonies due to drugs or credit card theft. Since neither are part of the job and I have a drug free work-place it is actually a healthy place for recovering addicts.

90% of my staff have felonies which means I actually give them a second chance at life.

Almost 70% are white.

You are the reason I laugh a liberals. You see race in everything.

The person who made this comment was a white woman by the way.

70% white? Sounds racist to me :)

Fair enough. I can level with that.

Felons CAN vote.

We have Al Franken to prove that.

PJ Media » The Vote Fraud Deniers

So it was no coincidence that in preparation for the 2012 election the NAACP announced that there is no vote fraud in America. It petitioned the United Nations Human Rights Council — composed of many of America’s detractors — to intervene in our election process. According to the NAACP, laws passed in response to a clear and present danger to the integrity of the ballot box are Republican “Jim Crow” laws.

Why? Because, according to Ben Jealous, president of the NAACP, requiring a photo ID to vote is such an egregious assault focused only on minorities that the attorney general of the United States should intervene. And he did! In tandem with his long-time friend, Eric Holder launched a massive DOJ campaign to stop what he calls “vote suppression” laws — like requiring photo IDs at polling places. He has threatened to prosecute anyone — including democratic American states — who would dare require photo ID of minorities.
-------------------------

Remember, this was the same attorney general who dismissed a slam-dunk prosecution of the New Black Panthers for voter intimidation.
--------------------------

Every day, the media is dragged, kicking and screaming, to another story about serious vote fraud in America. Illegal voting by felons; imposters voting as the long-dead; vote rolls stuffed with ineligible names; phony registrations; non-citizens casting ballots; fraudulent absentee ballots. Indeed, in Indiana, the president was illegally placed on the ballot with hundreds of forged signatures. But like the cub reporters they become in Democrat scandals, our media reluctantly pushes out a meager one line paragraph, usually kicked to the last page.
-----------------------

Yet Florida has discovered thousands of felons, non-citizens, and the dead on its voting rolls. It has tried for years to get DHS to compare its rolls against federal records. Secretary Napolitano has completely stonewalled Florida. And when Florida passed comprehensive, anti-fraud legislation, the dem-deniers immediately filed lawsuits to overturn them.
------------------------

Second, it is to make the ballot so insecure that millions of phony votes get tallied up for Democratic candidates. In November, they plan to flood the precincts with bused-in provisional ballots and same-day-registration votes. Once in the box, it will take years for anyone to figure out that many were illegal.

That happened in Minnesota, where a United States senator was likely sworn in to office on a fraud. That happened in Indiana, where an investigation from the 2008 election is still in process. Investigations are still progressing as to why voting machines in Philadelphia “malfunctioned” in such large numbers in 2008. And so on across the country, in every state.

On May 11, Florida election officials announced that they are examining over 180,000 people who they say may not be U.S. citizens but are registered to vote in Florida. Chris Cate of the Division of Elections said Florida officials have asked the Obama administration to grant the state access to databases maintained by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to help determine who is a citizen. “We’ve been requesting access, but have so far been denied,” he said.

Why has the Department of Justice, now the most partisan in our history, announced through its Civil Rights Division head, Julie Fernandes, that it would not force states to clean up vote rolls? Because, according to her, it would conflict with the department’s goal of increasing “voter participation.”

DOJ has never denied Fernandes made those comments, and now all of America is living with it.

You do know that according to Minnesota state laws, felons can vote, correct?

MINNESOTA STATUTES 609.165
609.165 RESTORATION OF CIVIL RIGHTS; POSSESSION OF FIREARMS.
Subdivision 1. Restoration. When a person has been deprived of civil rights by reason of conviction of a crime and is thereafter discharged, such discharge shall restore the person to all civil rights and to full citizenship, with full right to vote and hold office, the same as if such conviction had not taken place, and the order of discharge shall so provide.
