Even those still serving time can be found on Philadelphia’s voting rolls

WaTimes: In the City of Brotherly Love, you can retain your voter registration no matter what crime you commit.

That’s because election officials refuse to take convicted felons off the voter rolls even if they’re still serving time in jail.

One potential voter is convicted baby murderer Kermit Gosnell. In May 2013, in a case that shocked the nation, Gosnell was convicted of first-degree murder for killing fully developed babies born alive at his abortion clinic by severing their spines with scissors. He got three life terms, the latter for killing a baby that he joked was so large it could “walk to the bus.” Nine of his former clinic workers were also convicted, and four others pled guilty to murder.

Despite this history of savagery, Gosnell, 75, is still registered to vote in Philadelphia. He is listed as inactive, most likely because he has not voted in five years. However, if he were to show up at the polls, he would be permitted to vote even if he is on inactive status if he showed an ID.

  1. Hell, get a hold of one of the convicts and get him to get the ACLU to demand that this citizen be allowed to vote in whatever district he was in when he was arrested. Make it a class action suit and force Philly to escort all prisoners to vote and provide them with whatever they need to do so. I’ll bet seeing the ACLU coming riding over the horizon with briefcases drawn will make those morons change the law pretty quick.

  2. California only had about 1,500,000 illegal voters in 2008. That number probably tops 2 million now. Thank you Jerry Brown, most are probably Democrats. The oldest voter was born over 200 years ago. Nothing to see here folks, move on!

  3. “However, if he were to show up at the polls, he would be permitted to vote even if he is on inactive status if he showed an ID.”

    If he showed an I.D.??? Now THAT’S RACIST!

  4. Fucking disgusting SHOOBIES.

    Their brains must be clogged from consuming all those cheesesteaks, soggy soft pretzels, hoagies, pork roll, scrapple and Ortlieb’s beer.

    Schuhboxen Raus!
