Felon voting loophole raises Delaware dispute
Delaware Attorney General Richard Gebelein said felons still vote due to a loophole in the disability statute and urged reforms. He noted no cross county or federal case review system and proposed adding felony status to voter-registration checks and broader court docket reviews to target in-state and out-of-state felons. A Sunday Wilmington News Journal spot check found six of 20 felons still on rolls, including Melvin Slawik and Francis Rowley, who had prior federal felony convictions and voted in 1976 1980 elections.
