GOPDD: Virginia Gov Terry McAuliffe Grants 13,000 Felons Voting Rights To Help Hillary Clinton Get Elected

Aug 20, 2016 by Dylan

MSN Gov. Terry McAuliffe will announce Monday that he has restored voting rights to 13,000 felons, defying the Republicans and state Supreme Court justices who last month stopped his more sweeping clemency effort.

McAuliffe’s planned action, confirmed by two people with knowledge of it, comes about a month after the Supreme Court of Virginia invalidated an executive order the Democrat issued in April. With that order, the governor restored voting rights to more than 200,000 felons who had completed their sentences.
