Potential voter fraud?

[slumcamper]

Perhaps I've missed something, but given our governor's iron fist policy regarding the voting rights of felons, how can this guy vote?

Go here:

Enter:

Kent
Sorenson
50166

Maybe this policy doesn't apply to Republicans.

1. Has he actually been sentenced yet?

He's still out and about AFAIK.

I have a feeling he's going to get a slap on the wrist and go on his merry way.

2. from a story yesterday on the sentencing of some Paul aids:

"There has been no sentencing hearing scheduled yet for Sorenson, who took a plea deal that required him to testify at trial against the three operatives."

So I don't exactly how the law reads, but it looks like you are probably right.

4. Nice. Feed some underlings to the Feds and get your freedom.

Does Kent get to keep the 73K?

3. AFAIK too, but he plead guilty to federal charges TWO years ago.

I haven't heard or read anything about an actual sentence. Quite the delay, but I suppose they're keeping him on a leash and feeding him in exchange for testimony against the other crooks.

Not sure what the letter of the law is, i.e., whether admission of guilt to a federal crime automatically confers felony status on him, or whether actual sentencing is required for such. Whatever the case, he's a conniving and deplorable POS.

5. Yep, he IS a conniving and deplorable POS

I hope he gets more than a slap on the wrist.
