Gov. Abigail Spanberger, D-Va.
In a blunder that likely will leave Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger the butt of jokes for years to come, her leftist agenda to make voting for everyone possible included a scheme to restore voting rights to convicts.
She did. Including the dead.
She now says her state is “looking into it.”
Blanket restoration of voting rights to violent felons is WRONG for Virginia. As we’ve seen this week, Fake Moderate Spanberger can’t even handle restoring voting rights to felons without giving dead people the “right” to vote. Previous Republican AND Democrat governors have understood the wisdom of individually reviewing cases. Now Democrats want to automatically restore voting rights to EVERY felon, even those who have not paid restitution to victims. VOTE NO on question 3.

A report posted online by the Washington Examiner said Spanberger admitted it was possible that she “restored the voting rights of deceased individuals.”
She had announced her requirement that the state restore the voting rights for 66,085 previous felons in the state.
“The commonwealth’s constitution automatically and permanently strips voting rights of all convicted felons, but it leaves the power to restore them individually after a person completes their prison sentence to the sitting governor,” the report said.
As part of the process she launched, “she automatically restored voting rights for previous felons who had already died,” the report said.
“Spanberger did not deny the reports and said her office is ‘digging into’ the case to investigate instances where that ‘appears to be the case,'” the report said.
“We’re certainly looking into that possibility and recognizing that there has been a focus on a number of cases where that appears to be the case,” Spanberger said.
She did complain that the databases that list people who do not have voting rights might not include the pertinent information that they have died.
The report noted, “Spanberger also added that it’s a felony to cast a ballot on behalf of someone else, living or dead.”
Fox News reported Virginia resident Howard “Skip” Lambert posted online a notice signed by Spanberger and a later notification telling the recipient her voting rights had been restored and she should re-register to vote.
The problem was the recipient was his daughter, who passed away two years ago.
He explained, “Interesting this letter arrives as early-voting begins… yet the provided official order is dated July 1,” he said on Sept. 24. “Just because cash doesn’t change hands doesn’t mean the governor isn’t trying to buy votes.”
