See below for video, courtesy of the Democratic Party of Virginia, of a press conference a bit earlier today “featuring returning citizens, Delegate Don Scott, Senator Mamie Locke, and community organizations speaking out against the current administration’s rights restoration process.” As a press release yesterday stated, “The three previous administrations have worked towards a more streamlined rights restoration process, which have helped innumerable returning citizens regain their civil rights, including serving on a jury, running for office, serving as a notary, and the right to vote,” but “Unlike previous administrations, which were transparent about eligibility and process for voting rights restoration, the Youngkin administration appears content to leave Virginians in the dark.”
