“While Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) touted his plan to restore voting rights to the state’s nonviolent felons, advocacy groups were split in their assessment as to how much impact it could have. The Washington Post reported on Monday that the plan could impact about 100,000 former prisoners. Since 2010, McDonnell’s administration has approved 5,235 to return to the voting pool. But without electronic records before 1995, state officials also have a hard time locating former felons who are potentially eligible to renew their voting rights, and are turning to felons’ rights groups for assistance.”
