Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe Restores Ability to Register to Vote to All Ex-Felons Who Have Completed Terms and Periods of Supervised Release

On April 22, Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, a Democrat, issued an order restoring the ability to register to vote to all ex-felons in Virginia who have completed their terms and periods of supervised release. See this communcation from the Governor’s office. Virginia Governors have a state constitutional authority to restore voting rights for ex-felons, but most past Governors only exercised this power on an individual basis.

The order says that while McAuliffe is Governor, similar orders will be issued once per month, to include future eligible persons. The April 22 order is estimated to affect 206,000 persons. Of course, these individuals will now need to register. Thanks to the Brennan Center for this news.

  1. Hmmm.

    Just in time for the Nov. 2016 Prez election in a marginal State.

    What percentage of the those fine ex-felons just happen to be DONKEYS ???

  2. A higher percentage of ex-felon LP and Green folks than Donkeys/Elephants ??? ANY data ??

    Both Donkey and Elephant top gang leaders are trying to totally rig the election systems to get PERMANENT control —

    i.e. the election CONTROL agenda — rigged Electors, rigged registration, gerrymanders, unequal ballot access laws, rigged voter ID on election days, etc. etc.

    The VA Guv machination is just one step on the long road since 1776 to TOTAL CIVIL W-A-R II.

    Save Democracy — P.R. and nonpartisan App.V.
