The governor of Virginia (d) announced he is planning to offer clemency to convicted felons [ex-cons] to reinstate their voting rights this fall. Federal law has a lifetime ban on convicted felons voting. Virginia is a swing state and a very tight election is expected this year.
The Governor says he has the legal standing to pardon and therefore also has the legal standing to offer a partial pardon to all and thereby reinstating voting rights, but not their gun rights ect., to Virginia convicts in time for the fall elections. He says he is not trying to help the democrats or influence the presidential election that... it is Not Political...it's just the right thing to do.
