DES MOINES, Iowa -- A voter registration drive for felons is planned for Saturday in Des Moines. The registration drive is largely aimed at felons whose voting rights were restored this month.
The event will be held from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday at Union Baptist Church and at Creative Visions, on 13th Street.
A spokeswoman for the African American Leadership Coalition said the goal is to get as many ex-offenders registered as possible.
Vilsack signed an executive order on July 4, granting a blanket restoration of citizenship rights to tens of thousands of felons who have completed their prison terms.
That last paragraph proves to me that, although Tom Vilsack has spent most of his two terms as Iowa governor flying under the radar, he's out-and-out Democrat to the rotten, corrupt core... including making blatant vote-grabbing maneuvers like this one. It's just long enough before the next election that maybe the voters will forget.
Not this one.
