This comes after VPM reported on 10558 people losing voting rights. The Dept of Elections claimed these were caused by new felony convictions but the state police noted it marks probation violations as felonies in a state database.

VPM News is reporting that this will cause the state police to change what information gets reported to ELECT

The problems appear to stem from recent changes by ELECT aimed at removing people from voter rolls who’ve had their rights restored and subsequently been convicted of a new felony.
