Dead felon voting controversy grows in Virginia rights restoration push
State Sen. Glen Sturtevant called for an independent audit of Spanberger's rights-restoration process.
A Nov. 3 ballot measure in Virginia would make voting rights restoration automatic upon release from prison.
Each rights restoration citation bears the signatures of the governor and Secretary of the Commonwealth Candi Mundon-King.
“It’s clear [Spanberger] didn’t sign it. No governor and no secretary of the commonwealth would sign a restoration order that says Betty No Last Name, so they’re not looking at it; they didn’t review anything,”
TIM ANDERSON
