felons right to vote
State officials want to know, among other things, which crimes specifically constitute "murder."
“I am not content to condemn them for eternity as inferior and second-class citizens."
It's a major move by Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe.
People convicted of felonies will now be eligible to vote the day they leave prison.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
Democrats appear to have the votes to override their GOP governor.
More people with past felony convictions will soon get to vote in Kentucky. But Iowans and Floridians still face many hurdles.
The state is one of a handful that was not already doing this.
