In 2016 Virginia restored #votingrights to 150,000 residents who had served their time for non-violent felonies.

Sally (not her real name) smiled back and welcomed the canvassing conversation. She was happy, sincere, and listened intently. We chatted for a bit and then I asked, ‘Are you registered to vote?’
