This bit of news is not a surprise given Terry Mc Auliffe , Governor of Virginia history. He was chair for Bill Clinton's reelection campaign, chair for the DNC for five years and Chair for Hillary's 2008 campaign. As stories abound about the Clinton illicit political machine you can add Mc Auliffe as one of their co-conspirators. So given the allegation of illegal activity of the aforementioned it not a surprise they are for allowing felons to vote.

Vote fraud despite what progressive say abounds now. It can be stopped or at least drastically reduced but politics stand in the way. Felons coming in a variety of ways and one must differentiate a career criminal to one who committed a crime of passion, etc the latter likely to never offend again
Perhaps the government should employ some of these felons to help them sort out the ways law abiding citizens rig the voting system to favor their candidate?
