The July 6 NPR newscast stated Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe had signed legislation that reinstated ex-felons’ right to vote. The NPR reporter stated that a disproportionate number of ex-felons are Black. He concluded the news piece by opining that this move would likely benefit the Clinton campaign because more Blacks vote Democrat. Remember the McAuliffe legislation had nothing to do with race. Apparently, the NPR newscaster simply could not bring himself to state the truth – the Clinton campaign would benefit because most ex-felons are likely to vote Democrat.
