Worley: Judge's decision to give felons voting rights is "appropriate"

Secretary of State Nancy Worley approves of a judge's ruling to give voting rights to all convicted felons, in spite of a constitutional amendment - duly ratified by Alabama voters - which expressly forbids it.

"I think the judge has appropriately remanded this back to the Legislature to determine what is moral turpitude and what is not moral turpitude," Worley said.

It's important to note that Judge Vance's order would extend the right to vote even to those felons who are currently serving time in Alabama prisons. If Judge Vance and SOS Worley are allowed to have their way, then murderers, rapists, and child molesters will have the same voice as we do in this November's general election.

Nancy Worley's challenger in the November election is Republican Beth Chapman.
