Virginia Governor Restores Voting Rights to Felons
APRIL 22, 2016
44,000 former prisoners who are on probation can now register to vote.
Their research into whether voting rights notification laws increase ex-felons’ voter turnout found that in three states — New York, New Mexico and North Carolina — a majority of ex-felons registered post-incarceration as Democrats. The breakdown was as follows: New York, 61.5 percent Democrat, 9 percent Republican; New Mexico: 51.9 percent Democrat, 18.9 percent Republican; and North Carolina, 54.6 percent Democrat, 10.2 percent Republican.
Moreover, the two men published another paper in March 2014 with data from three other states — Iowa, Maine and Rhode Island — and the results were different. In all three of those states, a plurality was affiliated with no party (though in every case, there were far more registered as Democrats than Republicans).

Crime is still at low levels historically, so this post is bogus.

And yes, there's more crime in cities, and there are also more voters there. They are both caused by high populations.
Oh, and there are plenty of rural areas with crime too, so once again the post is bogus

Give it a few more months they'll be foaming at the mouth how crime is at historic highs.

"Correlation does not imply causation." - one of the mantras of science and statistics.
I like that saying. What does imply causation? Perspective?

I am going to agree with this. People who are liberal have liberal kids and want to have policies that protect their kids if they go astray, so the kids get away with more from lax juvenile laws. But, because they get away with it with their lawyers getting them off, they do not learn their lesson and the crimes get worse. Especially where there are a lot of liberals in a location.
If you spoil your kids and try hard to help them when they get in trouble when they are young, they often grow more profound at committing crimes. If you try to be your childs best friend instead of a parent, the kid has more chance of being a problem in society till they grow up and learn their lesson. Changing the laws locally only makes it worse, the kids have to learn to respect others.
So there is a correlation between crime and liberal families.
there is no correlation when you use your own opinions as somehow being factual, nice try though
Actually it is because of repeated observation. That's how science draws conclusions. Nice try though.
