Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe has vowed to individually sign 13,000 clemency orders allowing ex-cons to vote, after the Virginia Supreme Court invalidated his executive order restoring voting rights to nearly 200,000 Virginia convicts.
“The men and women whose voting rights were restored by my executive action should not be alarmed,” the governor said in a statement. “I will expeditiously sign nearly 13,000 individual orders to restore the fundamental rights of the citizens who have had their rights restored and registered to vote. And I will continue to sign orders until I have completed restoration for all 200,000 Virginians.”

Too bad but a judge said otherwise.
THE DNC is nothing more than an organized crime group
More criminal activity by the Democrats who think they are above the law.
Felons voting for corrupt politicians. The Dems need their votes in 2016. That's the only motive here.
There are very few states like Virginia that do not restore voting rights to convicted felons AFTER they have served their sentence.
He is a lair he is going to use an "Auto-pen", no personal sigs.
You can bet it'll be an auto pen; previous poster was faster to the keyboard. Let's see the video of the gov signing the orders!
