Virginia Democrats are concerned that ex-felons are not having their rights restored in a timely manner. Meanwhile, Governor Glenn Youngkin’s spokesperson told The Epoch Times that while the governor “firmly believes in second chances,” he is committed to considering each case individually and as the Virginia Constitution outlines.

“Youngkin Rolls Back Voting Rights,” read the headline of a March 27 article on the state Democratic Party website, which accused Youngkin of “one of his most regressive acts as governor.”
