Earlier this year, Abigail Spanberger restored voting rights to tens of thousands of convicted felons.
But in their hurry to inform the former criminals to head to the polls this November, it appears that the State of Virginia has had a few hiccups in the process.
Like giving a dead dog a letter about her voting rights.
Here's the original story from Fox News on how Biscuit got the right to vote in Virginia, despite being dead and a dog and never having a felony.
A Southside Virginia lawmaker is demanding an investigation after a constituent received an official rights-restoration certificate for his dog, Biscuit, a beagle-hound mix from Goochland County that died about five years ago ...
Del. Tom Garrett, R-Buckingham — who received the letter from the constituent who owned the pet — is now calling for an investigation into how Gov. Abigail Spanberger could have restored voting and jury-service rights to a deceased animal.
'This is not a question of whether people who have served their sentences deserve a second chance. This is a question of whether the Commonwealth is exercising one of the Governor's constitutional powers with even the most basic level of review,' Garrett said.
'Biscuit was a dog. Biscuit has been dead for five years. Yet an official document bearing the governor's signature says the executive reviewed the particulars of Biscuit's criminal case and determined her rights should be restored. Virginians deserve an explanation for how that is possible.'
According to the state of Virginia, they are carefully reviewing all of these felons to determine whether they should have their rights restored. The experts in Spanberger's admin have apparently decided that this dead dog's non-existent crimes qualify it to vote and even serve on jury duty.
(It's obviously not just a rubber stamp to try to give Democrats an extra 60,000 votes this November!)
The owners have no clue how this could have happened, and there's no word from Spanberger on what exactly is going on here.
The owner told Fox News Digital that Biscuit was never sent to the pound or had any other contact with Richmond that could have resulted in her being placed on the voting rolls. The owner said a sibling is currently incarcerated but added that the connection is moot because Spanberger's stated effort only involves released former convicts.
Heck of a show they're running in Virginia, huh?
