Try, try again is Terry McAuliffe’s motto when it comes to giving voting rights back to felons, but this time, the Virginia gods are weighing in.

While the governor was announcing a new push to restore voting rights for felons, the state flag toppled over.

WTOP reports:

Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe announced the individual restoration of voting rights for almost 13,000 felons Monday in Richmond.

Notices were mailed to those individuals last week, restoring their right to vote, serve on a jury and be a notary public after a Virginia Supreme Court decision stripped them of those rights earlier this summer. Some specific cases remain under review.

Standing by the state’s Civil Rights Memorial on Capitol Square, McAuliffee also announced a revised process to evaluate felons for rights restoration. And he called on state legislators to change state law, which strips felons of their civil rights. Only by petitioning the governor, can felons regain those rights. Other states restore such rights automatically.

McAuliffe called rights restoration the most pressing civil rights issue in Virginia today.

“Virginia’s felon disenfranchisement policy is rooted in a tragic history of voter suppression and marginalization of minorities and need to be overturned,” the governor said in a memo to election officials, prosecutors and legislators.

A court has previously overturned McAuliffe’s move, which was widely seen as political in an effort to help Hillary Clinton in November.
