As long as you don't count the two victories for liberals when it comes to striking down voter-suppression laws in Texas and Minnesota over the past week or so....
He's just doing it for the wrong reasons.As a Virginia resident, I do not really care for Governor McAuliffe.
But, he is "dead on balls" right about ex cons having the right to vote! I fully support his stance on the issue.

The Virginia assembly should pass a law, permitting the governor to restore voting rights to any Fallon in Virginia, but every fell in his voting rights as restore gets there gun rights restored by default. Then we'll see how committed McAuliffe really is to this principle

The issues may be separate, but constitutional rights are constitutional rights at the end of the day. if we are going restore voting rights, we should, at some point based on conditions, restore firearm rights as well.No....No... No
The Virginia Senate open discussions on television have separated the issue on voting and guns, and the local courts can/will determine whether or not a felon can apply for firearm ownership.

Since I don't wAnt to read the entire link, I'm going to assume Republicans want to strip felons of their voting rights...and the court said okay fine. As a life-long conservative, I disagree. But if I waited to support a party 100%, I'd be voting for Mickey Mouse

Actually, those are still under appeal in federal courts. The one in the OP is a final ruling.
