Cuomo orders parole officers to help eligible ex-cons register to vote

[Madmallard]

Gov. Andrew Cuomo is bending way over backward to get convicted felons to vote — now ordering parole officers to give registration forms to their former-inmate clients during office or home visits.

Next up will be, the parole officers will have to give ex-cons rides to the polling place.
And then they will be told that part of this deal is that they have to vote for Cuomo... I'm only half kidding.

I wonder what's in the "related complementary documents?" --- Vote for me, you owe me.

Assemblyman Steve Hawley (R) is in my district, I have always voted for him, his head is in the right place
but in the Albany swamp his voice is drowned out by all of the swamp critters.

n a memo provided to The Post, Team Cuomo orders senior staff at the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision to ensure that officers provide the parolees they supervise with “voter-registration forms, related complementary documents and assistance with the registration process.”

Left unsaid is that the gov expects every parolee to register as a Democrat and vote for him this November. After all, they only have the right to vote thanks to Cuomo’s recent executive order.

In short, the “high priority” is politics — not parole officers’ serious duty to help their charges stay out of trouble and find a place in society.

Assemblyman Steve Hawley (R-Batavia), who brought the memo to The Post, calls it “the most outlandish abuse of power and taxpayer-funded resources I’ve witnessed.”

Plainly, Cuomo won’t be happy until three-time cop-killer Herman Bell — released by the gov’s Parole Board over the vehement objections of law enforcement and survivors of his victims — is proudly sporting one of those “I voted” stickers.
