Voting Rights

O'Bannon v. King

Virginia permanently disenfranchises all people with felony convictions unless the governor restores their rights. This lawsuit—brought by the Ƶof Virginia and co-counsel partners—argues that the policy violates the Readmissions Act of 1870, which bars Virginia from denying the vote based on convictions that didn’t exist at common law in 1870. The state tried to dismiss the case by invoking sovereign immunity, but the courts rejected that argument. Now, the case moves forward with the potential to restore voting rights to thousands of Virginians.
