Jail survey: 7 in 10 felons register as Democrats
Washington Examiner, January 1, 2014
A new study of how criminals vote found that most convicts register Democratic, a key reason in why liberal lawmakers and governors are eager for them to get back into the voting booth after their release. “Democrats would benefit from additional ex-felon participation,” said the authoritative study in The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science.
The authors, professors from the University of Pennsylvania and Stanford University, found that in some states, felons register Democratic by more than six-to-one. In New York, for example, 61.5 percent of convicts are Democrats, just 9 percent Republican. They also cited a study that found 73 percent of convicts who turn out for presidential elections would vote Democrat.

Do Voting Rights Notification Laws Increase Ex-Felon Turnout?
Meredith & Morse
The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science January 2014 vol. 651 no. 1 220-249
Those ex-felons who are registered overwhelmingly register as Democrats. Of those discharge records that match to at least one voter file record, 61.5 percent match only to Democratic voter records. In contrast, 25.5 percent match only to voter records with no affiliation or an affiliation with a minor party, while 9 percent match only to Republican voter records.

So there you go. It's official. Scientists tell you that felons vote Democratic. But we knew that already. The whole study was a waste of taxpayer money. |
