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.

“We’re digging into it” isn’t good enough. Fake Moderate Spanberger has intentionally thrown the door wide open to voter fraud. Democrats will not protect the integrity of the ballot box.

A report posted online by the Washington Examiner said Spanberger admitted it was possible that she “restored the voting rights of deceased individuals.”

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.

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.”
