This is such a crazy story that it almost doesn’t even seem to be real, but rest assured, it is.
Chicago is now touting their ability to allow prisoners to vote while incarcerated.
The icing on the cake? 94 percent of the inmates at the jail are eligible to vote, according to those who organized the voting process.

And how many taxpayer dollars were used for this? Oh, that’s right. Too many.
Wtf is this? Prisoners should have no right to vote nor have any say in anything…..or is that just me?

Welcome to America, where illegal immigrants AND prisoners have the right to vote.
@ABC7Chicago Which county official that is up for reelection approved this idea? I think it's a important part of the story and basic journalism.

That’s too much to ask for, Michael.

BAM.
Felons lose the privilege of voting.

At least that’s what we’re told.
Chicago was once beautiful, now a Democrat cesspool of corruption! ?

Sadly, Chicago has become the very statistic of why Democratic laws and principles just do not work.
Democrats are targeting their base

Reduced jail time if they vote the right way. Another form of pay to play.

Wouldn’t be all that surprising though, would it?
Coming next: the Democrats will set up voting booths at all @ICEgov locations.
