JetBlue Attendant Arrested For Cocaine Pleads ‘Not Guilty’
Democratic governor of Vir- ginia Terry McAuliffe and his son, Peter.
The Democratic governor of Virginia announced on Friday that more than 206,000 people convicted of felonies will now be eligible to vote in the state.
Gov. Terry McAuliffe
signed an executive order on Friday restoring the civil rights of both nonviolent and violent former offenders, after comple- tion of their sentence and all other requirements like super- vised probation or parole, re- ports ABC News.
McAuliffe said the decision was part of ending racial injus- tices that have existed since the Virginia Constitution was en- acted in 1902.
“We were one of the four worst states in the United States of America, so you bet race was a big issue,” he told ABC News. “What we did today remedied, literally going back to 1901 and 1902, a terrible in- justice in the African-American community. Today we ended that horrible chapter of 115, 114 years.”
The Republican party of Vir- ginia criticized the governor’s decision to include violent of- fenders under the order, calling it “political opportunism” and a “transparent effort to win votes” for Democrats, possibly even affecting the upcoming presidential election in Novem- ber.
