Gov. Terry McAuliffe of Virginia will use his executive power on Friday to
restore voting rights to more than 200,000 convicted felons, circumventing
his Republican-run legislature. The action will overturn a Civil War-era
provision in the state’s Constitution aimed, he said, at disenfranchising
African-Americans.
The sweeping order, in a swing state that could play a role in deciding the
November presidential election, will enable all felons who have served
their prison time and finished parole to register to vote. Most are
African-Americans, a core constituency of Democrats, Mr. McAuliffe’s
political party.
“There’s no question that we’ve had a horrible history in voting rights as
relates to African-Americans — we should remedy it,” Mr. McAuliffe said
Thursday, previewing the announcement he will make on the steps of
Virginia’s Capitol, just yards from where President Abraham Lincoln once
addressed freed slaves. “We should do it as soon as we possibly can.”
The action, which Mr. McAuliffe said was justified under an expansive legal
interpretation of his executive clemency authority, goes far beyond what
other governors have done, experts say, and will almost certainly provoke a
backlash from Virginia Republicans, who have resisted measures to expand
felons’ voting rights. It has been planned in secrecy, and comes amid an
intensifying national debate over race, mass incarceration and the criminal
justice system.
There is no way to know how many of the newly eligible voters in Virginia
will register, but Mr. McAuliffe said he would encourage all to do so. “My
message is going to be that I have now done my part,” he said.
